The problem with this is that apparently the shorter LD calls (ie, the 
same area code, but another city) don't go through the LD provider.  
The phone company basically told me that they can't provide a 
restriction on all LD calls.  You also have to be concerned about 
someone calling the operator and asking for a connection, but this 
doesn't apply to a modem using the line.
