- [Moderator's Note: The options would seem to be seven digits for local
- (probably the majority of the) calls one makes and eleven digits for
- all others or ten digits for everything since if an area code is
- always required then the leading digit '1' could be dropped. I
- personally prefer the current arrangement even if I do have to dial
- 1-708 for many of my local calls. PAT]
