My sister lives in Charlotte, NC, and does not have Touch-Tone enabled,
but her CO will accept 20 pulses/sec, if that tells you anything.  Her
default long-distance vendor is MCI.

Over Christmas, I tried to call England, but kept getting "all circuits
busy" recordings from MCI.  Thinking that ATT might work, I tried
dialing 10ATT-011-44-etc., but kept getting error message recordings.  I
even tried switching the phone from pulse to tone after dialing the
10ATT, but it didn't help.  Any ideas?
