I called it from work.  We (BBN) have a Rolm PBX with 7500 DID numbers
in the 617-873-xxxx exchange.  It gave me back 617-491-1850, which was
BBN's original number 25 years ago and which we still keep in case
someone has ancient stationary or some such.  I guess that's our
billing number.

[Does it work from Pennsylvania?  If so, somebody send in the SWAT
team!]

[Moderator's Note: My gosh, yes! I wonder if anyone has notified the
authorities in PA of how their rights are being violated by this
service. I wonder what would happen if phone subscribers with 800
numbers insisted that their telco quit routing them *any* 800 calls
from Pennsylvania until such time as it becomes legal to know the
number of the telephone used in the call to them -- which, after all 
they are paying for?   PT]
