In typical, slightly halting sampled speech, it said "The number you have reached, xxx-xxxx, has been disconnected. Calls are being taken on xxx-xxxx." I'm used to "The number has been changed ...", but have never heard this particular version before. Any ideas what it means by "Calls are being taken on xxx-xxxx"? Roy M. Silvernail roy%cybrspc@cs.umn.edu [Moderator's Note: Did I get a strange one Sunday night! I had finished an international call and immediatly flashed and dialed 00 to get AT&T for another call. It rang once, and a recording said, "This is TS-6, Frame 2, Rogers Park". I hung up, dialed 00 a second time, and got the recording a second time. Third time around, I got the operator. I never was able to get it again. Any ideas? PAT]
