[comp.dcom.telecom] "1-234-5678" mystery number

pda@gatech.edu (Paul D. Anderson) (08/12/89)

>>OK, gang, another mystery from the AT&T system of the late 1960s-early 1970s:
>>Once upon a time, my brother (who was about ten years old at the time) picked
>>up the phone and dialed:
>>1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-0

Here in Atlanta, 1-234-5678 is a valid long distance number, but it has
been disconnected.  1-234-5679 and 1-234-5670 ring and ring so I presume
that the exchange is valid.  Dialing 234-5678 results in a 'You must dial
1 when calling long distance, please...'.  But where it is, I'm not sure.
