Being that I had to call from work and it was a personal call, I desided to use the US Sprint FON card. Direct dialing did not work at all. ass soon as I entered the country and city codes (39+766), I got a busy signal. The Sprint operator tried to place the call and after about 5 minutes on hold told me that I man not use the US Sprint to call this country code. Calling via the AT&T calling card got me a connection within 30 seconds. Can anybody explain the difference? -- Alex Alex Beylin, Unix Systems Admin. | +1 313 244 3386 alexb@cfctech.UUCP | Chrysler Financial Corp. alexb%cfctech.uucp@mailgw.cc.umich.edu | MIS, Technical Services {sharkey|mailrus}!cfctech!alexb | 901 Wilshire, Troy, MI
