(stuff about fast dialable numbers deleted) ... And what is the slowest pulse-dialable number? It is a real number; the Covenant House Nine Line: (1-800-999-9999) for runaways. [Moderator's Note: I think, but am not willing to dial and find out, that a 'slower' number would be 900-999-9999. I believe the 900-999 exchange is used by some telcos, including IBT, to house some really raunchy information providers; i.e. *very* kinky phone sex, etc. Some charge a couple dollars per minute with a *twenty minute minimum*, while others have no minimum, but charge four or five dollars per minute. 900-999-7000 is being advertised heavily here right now; a party line operated by Chaos Communications.
