Can anyone out there in netland give me a correct description of the Datapac
Priority Calling facility? As I have it in some existing code, it appears to
be a facility 0x01 0x01 following the national marker, and its presense forces
the packet size to 128. I don't know if this is correct, or if it invokes more
things that I need to be aware of. For example, should my Call Accept daemon
give it special preference?

(Yes, I tried calling Datapac's customer service. They turned out to be even
less useful than SprintNet's, a feat I would never have believed possible. I
can usually beat an answer out of someone at SprintNet within a day or two;
I've given up with Datapac after two weeks. Even ItalCable was easier to get
an answer from -- once I got ahold of someone who spoke English. :-))
