How about these for neighboring area codes?  301 (Maryland) and 302
(Delaware) are next to each other. And then I hear (in this Digest)
that 917 was not a good choice for the east bay area in California?
(That area, which borders 916, is going to be 510 after it's split
from 415.)

A Moderator's Note said 19 clicks (he used "pulls") for North
Carolina.  That only refers to the 919 area.  There are 21 clicks
needed for dialing area code 704.
