Does anyone know what the number is that you can dial to get a busy signal? (Yeah, it's a weird question.) I believe the exchange doesn't matter, so it's just the last four digits. Evelyn C. Leeper | +1 201-957-2070 | att!mtgzy!ecl or ecl@mtgzy.att.com --

Uh, try calling the number you are calling from. That usually works for me. Be seeing you... --Lang Zerner Internet: langz@athena.mit.edu UUCP: {decvax,mit-eddie}!athena.mit.edu!langz Witnessed: "...that is the question. Whether 'tis knobblier in the knees..." [Moderator's Note: I think she meant a test number for that purpose. Here in Chicago, any.prefex-9968 usually returned a busy signal. If you wanted to shake someone who constantly pestered you for your number so they could call you, give them one of those! The above was the one used under the old cross bar system. Things have changed so much I do not know what is what some days. I think prefix-9995 also sends a busy signal here on most exchanges. PT]
