Hmmmmmm.....it seems me that unlisted numbers should be protected in
some way.  Now, Ma Bell might charge you for this additional protection,
but if they offer it to you, they are effectively out of their contractual
obligations.  The mere fact that it was available to you and you didn't take
it negates the contract.  <I think>....
