On the eve of Tuesday's quake, I was able to get through to a friend
at Stanford on MCI.  I was about to try AT&T after getting re-order a
couple of times, but the call went through on what would have been my
last try on MCI.  The number was (415)328-xxxx.  I believe my friend
said that he lives in Menlo Park.  Damage there was minimal, his area
was suffering only from a power outage.

I was quite amazed at the ease I had getting through!  I succeded at
about 10pm Pacific time.
