It would have made more sense to use the PIC's. What is a PIC? I've seen it several times and no one has defined it. [Moderator's Note: His reference was to the five-digit carrier codes which can be used at the start of a long distance dialing sequence to route the call via a particular carrier; i.e. 10222 = MCI; 10777 = Sprint; 10288 = AT&T. These are a few, there are many more. PAT]
