I stayed at Hyatt Rickys in Palo Alto about five years ago, shortly after Stanford University's numbers moved from 497-xxxx to 723-xxxx. I tried dialing a number at Stanford (a local call) from my hotel room, and got an intercept from the hotel PBX claiming that the number was invalid. I dialed the hotel operator, explained what had happened, and she put the call through after promising to update the PBX database. Andrew Hastings abh@cs.cmu.edu 412/268-8734
