The folks at our main facility just installed a new telephone switch, and made
two changes which are not user-transparent.  The two changes involve the method
used to reach our remote switch, and the method used to dial an international
call.  If you haven't guessed yet, the old international prefix corresponds to
the new method of ringing my extension from the main facility.  This would be
amusing if it weren't for all the auto-dial facsimile machines trying to phone
home to Japan with the old dialing codes.  They're not much fun to talk to, and
they don't seem to report the fact that the calls aren't getting through.

The moral of this story: Get your Fax straight, before you make changes.
