	In my area, a call placed from the 688 exchange (a 30,000+
line CO using 5ESS) returns the correct number.  A call placed from
the adjacent 741 exchange (a 3,000 line former CDO with ten-year old
3ESS) results in the 555-5555 number, with the correct area code,
however.  Obviously, the 3ESS is not transmitting the ANI data.
