[comp.dcom.telecom] Another Example of the 555 Pseudo-Exchange

You know how whenever they need a phone number in an movie or an ad or
whatever, they use a 555-xxxx number to avoid using a real one by
mistake?  Well, I just saw an interesting extension of that.  An AT&T
rep was here working out the details of an expansion to our System-25
(another 60 extensions, etc) and was giving an example of either
making a call or somebody calling us (I forget which).  What phone
number did she use?  Of course, 555-xxxx!
