1. I got my phone bill yesterday and it had an insert telling me of a new prefix (234) being implemented in Hockessin, Del. (area 302). It already has a 239 prefix. I believe there's a 234 in a distant part of the (next- door) 215 area in Pennsylvania, but no 239 there. Of the other Delaware points local to parts of 215: Newark 368 and 453 are duplicated in distant parts of 215, but other Newark prefixes are not duplicated in 215 at all, nor are any of the Newport, Wilmington, or Holly Oak prefixes. (Also, I have noticed that the NJ prefixes in Trenton and neighboring Ewing-- both in 609 area--are local to parts of 215 and aren't duplicated in 215.) 2. I have an order form in front of me. It shows: Touch-tone only Pulse (compatible with both rotary and touch-tone dialing systems) As far as I can guess, either is OK for ordinary converstaion. But what applications would require compatibility with rotary systems? You may post answers to me directly (cmoore@brl.mil), and I can summarize.
