Yesterday I tried dialing a call with my MCI calling card. I tried dialing 10222 and the number and got the MCI "boing" ... then I dialed my card number. It choked on it. I tried the 950 number and it worked just fine. Any idea what happened? I tried several times. The card is actually an American Express "expressphone" card -- which is supposed to be a regular MCI card billed to my Amex card... reb *-=#= Phydeaux =#=-* reb@ingres.com or reb%ingres.com@lll-winken.llnl.GOV ICBM: 41.55N 87.40W h:558 West Wellington #3R Chicago, IL 60657 312-549-8365 w:reb ASK/Ingres 10255 West Higgins Suite 500 Rosemont, IL 60018 708-803-9500
