New Jersey Bell is not permitted to handle calls between NYC and Princeton
or Trenton.  Both are inter-lata calls.  The 10-NJB stuff only works between
NYC and a few counties of Northern NJ.  I think it includes Hudson, Essex, 
Bergen, Union, and Passaic Counties.  I know it does not allow us to call
NYC from Somerset County (we're 30 miles from NYC).
