I'm in the 497 exchange, and as far as I know it's still called "Buffalo".
At least that's what I see listed as the originating area on the LD section
of my bill. I'll ask my in-laws in the 498 exchange what they get.

Let's see... according to my 89/90 phone book, Buffalo consists of the
following prefixes: 293, 493, 496, 497, 531, 556, 558, 584, 596, 870.
THe 498 prefix is in the Alief exchange, along with: 495, 530, 561, 568,
575, 879, 933.

Just for reference, the 666 prefix is in the Mohawk exchange. Amusing.
