Perhaps someone knows....

After reading the above, I tried to use the 950-1022 number and
all was good.  I received the proper tone from MCI and off I went.
It was nice to be able to fit the entire string into the hayes buffer,
instead of using the ; and then entering the authorization code;

All of a sudden this has stopped working.  950-1022 procedes
and series of short busys and then goes away...

Am I now stuck again using the 800-950-1022?

As far as quality, the 950-1022 has excellent quality. not a {
to be found, but I cannot say the same for the 800-950-1022?

In answer to one of John's questions:

The originating number always show up on the bills no matter
which way MCI is accessed...

I look forward to seeing some responce to John's other questions.

Cheers,
