In response to <cmoore@BRL.MIL>:
 
My knowlege of the Cincinatti area code/prefix biz I must admit is
limited to notes in the front of the phonebook. The directory listed
as I remember at least a couple of prefixes which could be reached
from either 513 or 606. These were located "on the map" in both the
areas for Ky, and Oh adjacent to the river. These were the only
prefixes on the map that were listed to more than one geographical
region (by map region number).

I remember trying one of the numbers (from the Dayton area) and
finding that I did not need the 606 area code to call it (It was a a
business in Ky, if I remember) I don't remember how it was listed in
the book (as requiring 513, or 606). It may be that what I'm thinking
of was a early version of what we now have in the way of 976 numbers
that are the same in two area codes. (I see a lot of ads for 976
numbers that are the same in 213 and 818.) As well, it could be more
like a "choke" prefix, as many radio stations use.  Which are in some
cases the same prefixes in adjacent area codes.
