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? From the 'desk' of _ /| Bill (the) CATTey... \'o.O' ~(___)~ THSHVPPPOOO! U ACH!
