On the other hand, in the same New England Telephone Company area I
can sit in my New Hampshire house (in 603-880) and dial Tyngsborough,
Mass.  (was 617-649 and is now 508-649) with seven digits.  When I
lived in the 617-649 I could dial all the Nashua NH telephones
(including 603-880 and several others) the same way.  This is across
NPA, LATA, and state boundaries.
