After experiencing the Bell Atlantic 'IQ' demo line, I decided to hack for other interesting codes not yet mentioned. '*52' returns the acknowledgment dial tone, similar to Tone*Block '*70'. Since I don't (and won't) have Call Waiting on the line under test, I have not been able to ascertain what function this code performs. Any ideas? '*91' returns a dial tone and performs the same function as '*72', Call Forwarding. '*93' clears the forwarding. Very interesting... Now, since I have grown accustomed to the conservative, almost backward attitude which prevails in Washington, DC, I was shocked to find that progress may actually be knocking on Congress' door; surely these features, whatever they may be, will not be implemented before they have been tested, retested, and somebody else tries them first! I have not turned up any others yet, but the thot plickens... Bote uunet!cyclops!csense!bote {mimsy,sundc}!{prometheus,hqda-ai}!media!cyclops!csense!bote
