Rahul,

Thanks for taking the time to walk me through a diagnosis of this problem.
Unfortunately, I later found that I gave you the wrong results over the 
phone.  After re-configuring my modem's DTE rate down to 19200, I did
indeed make the connection, to (I thought) 380-1108.  But, later, after
checking my terminal program's scroll-back buffer, I found that I had
connected with 293-9825, not 380-1108.  Sorry about that.

Now, after making a number of attempts with a re-configured modem (DTE
rate down as low as 9600, init string AT&FW2+M=11 turning both V90 and
Kflex off, highest connect rate set to 28800), I'm still not able to
connect to 380-1108.  The other 293 numbers that you gave us seem to work
ok, up to 28800 but usually 26400 -- but nowhere near the 40-45333 that
I've been getting for the past month or so.   I know that was an unusually 
hight connect speed and the telephone company could easily change
something to lower it, but that's not a reasonable excuse for not
connecting at all much lower rates with non-V90 and non-Kflex.
Also, even though I can connect to the newly announced 293 numbers at
decent speeds for shell sessions, will these numbers be available forever?

I'd like to keep looking for a solution to the 380-1108 problem.
If anyone else is having similar problems, or has any idea of what's 
wrong, please post them here.  The most likely culprit identified so far
is GTE in Los Gatos, who might have made some changes since last night.
My phone is in East Los Gatos (in the 356 calling area) .   If anyone 
else who's having this problem would either post their telephone prefix,
or send it to Rahul, maybe we can find some sort of a pattern.
