(click) or NU (Number Unobtainable) tone from British Telecom or US style busy signal or Nothing at all - I.E. open line to who knows where. I then tried 213-976 and got the same set of messages. It looks like calls to all CA 976 codes are being blocked to out of state callers. This is no great suprise other than the fact that British Telecom seems to use MCI for some, but not all, of its US traffic. John Pettitt
