For those who care, Michigan Bell found those people (children especially) curious enough to dial 1-234-5678 annoying enough to install it as a valid number in Flint (where 234 is a valid prefix -- the original CEdar exchange) , but with a recording to discourage such calls. It's been in place for at least 15 years. When you call, the recording says: "You have reached 234-5678, a special test circuit. This call will appear on your bill if you are calling long distance. This is a recording." -- KENR@BBN.COM
