In preparation for the arrival of Equal Access in Acton (November date)
the new Generic has just been loaded.

In addition to Equal Access (10xxx, but no translations loaded yet), this
new Generic includes *70-Cancel Call Waiting, acceptance of the "#" after
"0" when calling the operator to disable timing (this used to result in
reorder), acceptance of the "#" after a 12-digit IDDD number (though only
useful on 11-digit or shorter numbers, it is now ignored rather than causing
a reorder), 0 for local telco operator, 00 for "your long-distance company"
operator (though at the moment both are going to AT&T, I'm sure the NET trunks
will be brought in very soon, since the next towns on both sides have them)
and "010" for your LD company operator with the overseas light lit (that may
have already been there, but I think not).
