(718 should be fully cut over by now, so this seems to be a permanent arrangement?) Rule of thumb in Los Angeles area: if zipcode is 91xxx, phone is probably in 818 area; if 90xxx, in 213 area. ------------------------------ From: tektronix!andrew%lemming.tek@Berkeley To: tektronix!ucbvax!telecom@Berkeley Date: Fri, 12 Apr 85 16:05:15 PST Subject: Re: TELECOM Digest V4 #178 Here in Oregon/Washington, Pacific Northwest Bell has been offering something like the Pac Telesis "Premier communications system" for several months now. It's called the "Centrex" system. Their radio and newspaper ads harp upon the fact that there's no equipment on your premises, it's easy to upgrade and downgrade, and they claim an average two hours downtime in forty years. -=- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!orca!andrew) [UUCP] (orca!andrew.tektronix@csnet-relay) [ARPA] ------------------------------ End of TELECOM Digest ******************************
