Not on my XBAR it won't. :-) I've always used 1-700-555-4141... are they just alternate routes to the same thing, or is that a typo, or what? (I can't check myself because every phone within a huge radius is connected to a ROLM 9751 CBX (production #2!) which chokes on just about any non-standard number. In fact, it chokes on a whole lot of things... like people making phone calls...) Andrew Boardman now located at amb@heathcliff.cs.columbia.edu, which I'll be mailing from too as soon as I move all my news stuff... [Moderator's Note: I think in any case in which 1-700-555-something will work for this purpose, 1212 and 4141 are interchangeable. If it will not work in your x-bar office, then it may be likely that your x-bar office is not yet equal access either, rendering 1-700-555-anything moot. PT]
