[comp.dcom.telecom] NYNEX at Kennedy Airport also disables the keypad!

It's not just COCOTS that are getting into the act of disabling
keypads.  This past November (a long time ago, sorry... I hope they
fixed it by now) I was in Kennedy Airport trying to place a calling
card call.  Neither 1-0-288 -0-<my number> nor 0-<my number> would
leave the keypad enabled for me to type my calling card number.

I believe 1-0-288 didn't connect me with ATT.  My traveling companion
said they use a different access scheme.

I was very frustrated.  The posted dialing instructions on the NYNEX
pay phone simply didn't work.  Any suggestions what I should do if
this happens again?
