(I presume that although the article mentions area code 215, that's
for Philadelphia and the Harrisburg exchanges are really in 717.)

Does this mean that exchange 717-697, the one (but I'm not saying only
one) where you can't get touch-tone at any price without changing your
number out of that exchange (according to relatives who live there, as
of a few weeks ago) is going to get Caller-ID?  What switch supports
caller-ID and not touch-tone?
