FTS was lousy, but FTS 2000 works just fine.  I have no complaints
about it.  I believe that the conversion to FTS 2000 for voice service
is now complete.

By the way, I have an authorization code for making FTS 2000 calls
from off the network.  There's an 800 number to call, then you enter
the number being called (seven digits for an FTS number, ten digits
for a commercial number), followed by the eleven digit code number.  I
had trouble making data calls that way because it seems to be very
picky about the timing of entering the numbers.
