Yes Joe, this is certainly the key sequence in Toronto where you and I both
live.  And its been documented in our Ma Bell supplied phone book for years.

The question was directed at the American who stated that his government has
given his phone company, Sprint, permission to provide service to Cuba, as
long as that phone company met certain conditions having to do with how they
handle their money.

I was curious if the same key sequence is used.  (Actually, I was really
curious about the call routing.  No matter how the call is routed, some
company had to bring a cable and connect it to Cuba.  That company must have
spent money in Cuba ...)
