Hi Dave :)
Yep you pretty much got it .... I am working on getting a second line
into my house right now... there is a backlog in my area becuase I asked for
the same exchange (617 is my exchange, 503 is my current line's area code)
and AT&T said that I could actually get the same phone number for both lines
using the new 971 area code for my new (second) phone line!
So I would have 2 lines (503-617-xxxx and 971-617-xxxx) in the same house!!!
that would be confusing to some... but hey my parents (and in-laws) wouldn't
have to remember a different phone number hehehe
Art "I like it! hehe" Bahrs
