Last time I was in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the RBOC was the descendent of C&P. Is Pac*Bell there as an independent somewhere? I cannot imagine that the forces of the universe would allow what Pac*Bell calls service to escape the borders of California. But the mention of #1 crossbar is sound. Back in the not-so-distant past, all phones served by local #1 crossbar had the normal "single" ring if the numbers ended in 000-499 and a "double" ring if they ended in 500-999. I used to feel so superior because I had the more highly advanced #5 crossbar. Unfortunately, I still do. They now have #5ESS. John Higdon | P. O.
