The exchange has been modernised to provide tone dialling. There will be no changes to telephone numbers. If you have a push-button phone with a switch marked Tone/Dec. on the bottom, move the switch to the Tone position to take advantage of the speed and convenience of tone dialling. A push-button phone using the new tone dialling will also enable you to access services such as home banking, voicemail and pagers. David Wilson Dept Comp Sci, Uni of Wollongong david@cs.uow.edu.au
