A few weeks ago I asked four questions.  There were some posted articles
and I also received some email.  I summarize:

1. France seems to be the only country outside North America where what
   we call the access code is not considered part of the phone number.
2. There seems to be no country outside North America that allows customer-
   dialed, operator-assisted long distance calls.
3. There seems to be no country outside North America that uses 1 as an
   access code; France uses 16.
4. There's no correlation between unusual dials and unusual access codes.

Thanks to those who responded.
