	The three tone burst at the beginning of phone intercept
announcements appears to be international, by the way.  I recently dialed
a wrong number in Basel Switzerland (from the US), and got the three tone
burst associated with 'the number you have dialed is not in service, please
check the number and dial again', except that the announcement was in
German (!).  I recognized the tones however, and realized what had
happened.  I have only heard one set of tones however, does anyone know
what the different sequences mean?
