For calls within my area code, I dial 10212 then 1+7digits. It saves a little bit over what US West charges me for intra-LATA toll calls. I think the calls all go from my home in Seattle to Call US's switch in Portland, then via AT&T circuits (which they resell) back into the 206 area code. Tad Cook tad@ssc.UUCP
