That is the prefix for phone-company-type lines (like information is 1-areacode-555-1212, and repair for a local area is 1-555-wxyz, etc.) I suppose they do things like this so that they don't display a real telephone number, because there are cretins who are liable to call any number they see because they think it'll be funny. -Randy -------
