Note that there is a lot of equipment being sold that assumes that "1-"
can be used to indicate toll calls.  One extreme are what appear to be
toy pay phones that take quarters and only allow local calls.  In fact
some of these are actually used in small stores and restaurants.  Well,
at least I've seen one.

On a related topic, I am still awaiting the ability to use "1-617"
within 617.
