Goof in list of zones? It says dial 1+718 for Brooklyn, Queens, S.I. (and 1+area code for 212,914,516 area points). Calls within New York Metropolitan LATA (includes Greenwich & Byram in Connecticut?) are billed by N.Y.Telephone, along with calls to 5 N.J. counties: Passic, Bergen, Essex, Union, Hudson. (It has been noted else- where that phone prefixes can cross county lines.) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 May 85 9:55:16 EDT From: Carl Moore (VLD/VMB) To: telecom@Brl.ARPA Subject: DTN I saw DTN in a message header today. Is that some sort of phone #? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 May 85 07:53:32 pdt From: schoch@Berkeley (Steve Schoch) To: telecom@Berkeley Subject: Pay phone earpiece Cc: I have an earpiece I got from a vandalized phone and noticed that the terminals were connected to a coil of wire that goes around the whole thing (the coil is made of thin wire 1 3/4 inch diameter). At first I thought it was the speaker coil, but when I disconnected this coil, the earpiece still worked. Does this coil have something to do with magnetic coupling devices that might be attached to the phone? I can't think of any other use for it as it doesn't seem to affect the operation at all.
