	AT&T seems to have a new program called Call Manager which
helps roommates keep track of their calls.  I saw their ad in our
campus newspaper yesterday and called AT&T to find out about it today.
The way it works is each roommate selects a 2-digit code between 00
and 99 (without informing AT&T).  After that each time he makes a
call, he dials 0 nnn-nnn-nnnn 15 mm, where nnn-nnn-nnnn is the number
he is trying to dial and mm is his personal two digit code.  The 15 is
supposed to be dialled after you get a tone from AT&T.  The operator
assured me that dialling 15 would make sure that their computer did
not wait for a calling card number (the procedure did look
suspiciously like a calling card call to me).

	The calls will be listed separately in the monthly bill.  This
service is supposed to cost NOTHING, and, if I can manage to get my
roommates to dial those additional 4 digits this is sure going to save
me a lot of trouble with our monthly bill!


Disclaimer:	This is what I think the AT&T operator meant to say.
To make, sure call AT&T at 1-800-22-0300 and ask about the Call
Manager program.
