Additionally, some COs have it and don't have it i.e., we at PSU are
served by the same Bell of PA CO as the adjacent community.  There are
at least 2 swtiches: one has Tone*Block (part of the Bell Atlantic (r)
I.Q. (sm) Services Family), and one doesn't.  Residential customers
can specify that they want the T*B feature (no additional charge) and
get assigned to the _right_ switch.

[Moderator's Note: "Tone*Block" ?? Is that another name for suspend
call waiting?  PT]
