Well, Pat, they keep telling us that our System 85 can't do it, but
that they would be glad to sell us a 5ESS....  ???

Our short call threshold is 0.9 min. domestic and 1.4 min. foreign,
(billing for 1 min. and over and 1.5 min. and over, respectively) so
customers get a pretty good free short call benefit.  I would much
rather have the answer supervision, though.
