|Today, March 15, the Bellcore number ("enter area code...enter

|service, punch-in and all.

I just tried it, and all the local exchanges I tried, those belonging
to PSU, local towns, and State College, all got "State cllg, paw."
Wonderful text-to-speech, there... even my Radio Shack pair of voice
synthesis chips does better than that.
