Today, March 15, the Bellcore number ("enter area code...enter
exchange...") accepted my call, but treated all the prefixes I
entered as non-existent (i.e., went right on to the next area code
prompt). Later in the day I tried again, and I was able to use that
service, punch-in and all.Dave Levenson <dave%westmark@uunet.uu.net> (03/17/90)

How do I check what is wrong? That's a relatively local call from here. It answered, and performed as expected when I tried it this evening. But it is a bit out of date. It correctly identified the location of several local and out-of-town places I frequently call, but it had no audible response at all to 708-864. When I tried 312-864, it identified it as Evanston, IL, which was correct until a month ago or so. (But it pronounced it as 'eevanston ill'.) Dave Levenson Voice: (201 | 908) 647 0900 Westmark, Inc.

I just tried it, and all the local exchanges I tried, those belonging to PSU, local towns, and State College, all got "State cllg, paw." Wonderful text-to-speech, there... even my Radio Shack pair of voice synthesis chips does better than that.
