David Greenman already set me straight on this one - they apparently changed this awhile back, possibly while I was out of the country (that's my excuse, anyway, and I'm sticking to it :-). He also said that there was quite a flap about it in his area due to the fact that many PBX systems would do a quick sanity check on a dialed number by performing essentially the same check (modulo the off-by-one) I suggested. Some businesspeople evidently expressed strong displeasure at being assigned the new numbers since they said that these false-blocks in the old PBX equipment were costing them business. > 242 as of 10-1996, Bahamas Cool. Now I know that my new mission in life is to get a 242 area code for my next telephone number later on this year. :-) Jordan
