Having grown up in a non-BOC area, the only time I heard that
distinctive scratchy BOC-411 ring was on a long-distance 555-1212
DA call. Why is it that now that I live in a BOC area
it STILL sounds that way...incredibly scratchy noise, followed by
a loud "tock" into a ring tone, a double "t-tock" back to the scratchiness,
etc.  Only 411 rings this way.
