- California 1-800 TAC Service Restored
-
- 1. 1-800 TAC Service within California (area codes 310, 510, 909, 209, 213,
- 408, 415, 619, 707, 805, 818, and 916) was re-established on 22 Oct 92.
- Again, we regret the inconvenience caused by the temporary loss of service.
- Please provide widest dissemination of service restoral.
-
- 2. DISA strongly recommends that any users who have determined they can use
- local dial in service refrain from using the 1-800 service. There are three
- excellent reasons for using the local dial in service. First, most local dial
- in service is capable of supporting 2400 BPS service while the 1-800 service
- is limited to 1200 BPS. Second, as of 1 Oct 92, 1-800 service costs $.17 per
- minute of use, local dial in service costs $.07 per minute. Finally, there
- are only twelve 1-800 circuits available to California users while there are
- more than 150 local dial in circuits.
-
- 3. Any user that is unsure whether he/she has access to local dial in service
- should contact the NIC at 1-800-365-3642 for assistance. Users can also find
- local numbers by accessing the NIC computer (nic.ddn.mil, IP address
- 192.112.36.5) and using the TACNEWS LOCATOR option.
