Seems to me they should be no greater than 1 in 10,000. That seems pretty rare to me. Anyway, just for fun, I just tried dialing 636-0000. I got a ringing tone, except that it was much too long to be a ringing, and about half way through the "on" cycle, it got a bit softer. Strange. I just called it again, and got a normal (roughly 1.5-sec on, 2.5-sec off) ringing, but nobody answered the phone. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
