That's almost exactly what happened when I tried it with our Dimension
(85?) PBX.  We have 600 - 700 direct dial numbers of the form
513-576-2xxx.  It got the correct area code, but the number wasn't
even the same prefix (575 instead of 576).  Calling that number,
however, got the switchboard operator!
