You can obtain the V&H tables, and LD rate information, but I've found
it's probably not worth the trouble.  Reason?  This information changes 
*daily*  We built a call accounting system for PC's and needed LD rate
information for pricing (we got the rate info from a company called 
Tele-tech Services, P.O. Box 757 McAfee NJ 07428   201/827-4421).  The 
problem is that almost as soon as you receive the info, it's out of date.  
The BOC's are forever updating their intra-lata rates and AT&T is (less 
frequently) updating the interstate rates.  For this reason Tele-tech offers 
a monthly update service, so that once you've bought the info, you can keep 
it current (costs about $40/month).
