I know we have talked about call forwarding stuff here in the past,
but I don't remember that the following case ever came up:

	Station A, in area ONE, makes call to station B in area TWO.
	(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...
