988 routes calls to western union -- it will be interesting to see if
you ever get a bill. do other 700 calls generate tolls ? if you were
a legitimate western union outlet, you could probably make all sorts
of transactions...woolsey@nsc.nsc.COM (Jeff Woolsey) (03/08/88)
I get a modem carrier when I try to place any call using 10375 as the prefix. It answers as EASYLINK ID? The CIC list posted earlier identifies it as Western Union. -- -- I wish people would stop running into my car! Jeff Woolsey National Semiconductor woolsey@nsc.NSC.COM -or- woolsey@umn-cs.cs.umn.EDU

Maybe the prefix code allows you to access the service from anywhere with equal- access without having to remember lots of phone access numbers. -Richard -- _________________________________________________________________________ | Richard B Dervan BitNet: ccoprrd@gitvm1 | | Office of Computing Services ARPA : ccoprrd@pyr.gatech.edu | | Georgia Institute of Technology CIS : 70365,1012 | | Atlanta, Ga 30332 MCI : RDERVAN | | uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!gatech!gitpyr!ccoprrd | |__________________"We don't fit the mold...we build it"__________________|
