[comp.dcom.telecom] 10666 and 5ESS

Complain to Bellcore. They are the ones who programmed the beast.

I know of a similar bug regarding 411 and 3-ports on the 1AESS. If you
three-way to 411, and then try to release, you can't get away from the
circuit. You have to hang up entirely, call the party back, and re-begin
the call sequence again, omitting the call to 411.

That bug has been around for years.

Not a bug!  Generally, when you dial 411, call supervision is passed
to the called party (411).  This is done so that when some one calls
with an emergency, the connections stay in place until the caller
can be identified.  Consequently, you cannot drop the connection.
