I recall many, many issues ago that someone was interested in knowing
if there is a valid phone number ending with all zeros i.e.,
xxx-xxx-0000.

Well, I found one:

	Bloomingdale's		Sales Order line	800-777-0000

I've used it myself.

[Moderator's Note: In fact, 312-743-0000 is FX'd to an attorney in
Wilmette, IL. It comes from the same CO as myself, Chicago-Rogers Park.
312-787-0000 is the number '911' translates into here for some police
districts. And in those instances where it is not a valid ending to a
phone number the intercept lady is *so* funny to listen to as she
tells us of our error: "The number you have dialed, NXX oh! OH! OH!!! Oh! 
is not a working number." All those 'oh!' noises could be interpreted
in a lewd way by someone with a dirty mind. (Not your Moderator!) :)  PAT
