I smell badly written software.  The VoiceMark man mentioned that only
BellSouth calling cards would work.  As it happens, my NET card has a
scrambled number which starts with 601, and 601 is the area code for
Mississippi, which is BellSouth territory.  It looks like they're just
looking at the first three digits to guess who issued the card.  Gee,
I should make a call or two and see what shows up on what bill.
