That's a relatively local call from here.  It answered, and performed
as expected when I tried it this evening.  But it is a bit out of
date.  It correctly identified the location of several local and
out-of-town places I frequently call, but it had no audible response
at all to 708-864.  When I tried 312-864, it identified it as
Evanston, IL, which was correct until a month ago or so.  (But it
pronounced it as 'eevanston ill'.)
