The * is already spoken for. It is already in use by the telcos as --
believe -- it or not -- #11 equivalent.  In those central offices
where call waiting has been implemented and where "disable" call
waiting has also been implemented, *70 (DTMF) or 1170 (pulse) are used
to temporarily disable call waiting.
