I called my LEC (Pactel) and was informed by the representative that
they do not provide this service, at least in this area (Anaheim,
Orange County, California). She did say that GTE did support it,
however.
 
I would appreciate any information to the contrary, i.e. how to
educate the reps to exactly what I'm talking about.
