(This is a normal toll call for station A) However, station B is set to forward to station C back in area ONE, where station C is in the normal free calling zone of station A. How will this call be charged? 1> as a local call 2> as an toll call for the around trip A -> B -> C 3> other... The ideal case would be choice 1, but the all the required hooks are probably not three and won't be there until IDSN becomes common. The other thing that almost forces choice 2, is that different carriers may be used for each leg of the connection. (i.e. the A->B leg might be ATT and the B->C leg might be MCI) There might even be some non-technical tariff requirements forcing the call to be charged a certain way... ______ ______ _______ ___ ___ ___ ________ / ___ \ / ___ \ / ____/ / / / \ / / / _____/ / /__/ / / / / / / /__ / / / /\ \ / / / / ____ / ___ \ / / / / / ___/ / / / / \ \ / / / / /_ / / /__/ / / /__/ / / /____ / / / / \ \/ / / /___/ / /________/ \______/ /_______/ /__/ /__/ \___/ \_______/ Roger Swann @ The Boeing Co., Aerospace Div. uucp: uw-beaver!ssc-vax!clark voice: 206/657-5810
