The good news is that, as of today, 01 Jun 91, PacBell has expanded its
local calling area, so I can call work, for example, without incurring
toll charges.

The bad news is that, without notice, the "permissive" 1-plus dialing
has stopped working.  The normal dialing from 408 has been, for
example, just 415-336-xxxx.  It was permissible, however, to dial
1-415-336-xxxx, which, I presume, will someday become the norm.  As of
this morning, using the "1-" form reaches a reorder tone ...

Doncha' just love those guys?
