I don't know how President Carter's call-in was done.  I do recall it
was toll-free, on a 900 number (done so that it would not interfere
with the normal long-distance traffic), and that calls from the DC
area to that were routed via Wayne, Pa. (near Philadelphia).  The
number was 900-242-1611, if I remember, and someone in the Milwaukee
area got deluged with calls from some people (in 414 area?) who forgot
to dial the 900.  This was in 1977.
