Consider North Jersey. One site I call there has an exchange of 615. Another site I call has an area code of 615. (From here, no problem. I supply the area code before the 615 exchange.) In NJ but out of the local area for dialing exchange 615, what happens when the machine dials 1+615 ... ? Does it ring through after 4 more digits, or does it wait for 7 more? (Does it have a time-out in case only 4 follow?) --- ...!bikini.cis.ufl.edu!ki4pv!tanner ...!bpa!cdin-1!cdis-1!ki4pv!tanner or... {allegra killer gatech!uflorida decvax!ucf-cs}!ki4pv!tanner
