  The telephone system here has recently been switched from Centrex to
a PBX.  Calling the above 800 number from my office (214/995-6080)
results in a read back of the correct area code, but, like the
Moderator's experience, the number read back is a totally unrelated
number: 231-XXXX, where XXXX is not 6080.  Dialing that number results
in an intercept _from the PBX_: "The number cannot be completed as
dialed.  Please check the number and dial again.  TI 10."

  I gather from the 800 number announcement that this is being 
marketed to cable television companies?
