    Here is a generic ANI number that works from just about anywhere, I
think.BTW-- if you don't know, quick explination of ANI: ANI = Automatic
Number Identification, and is used by Telco linemen to determine what fone
number they are working on, when they're at a can (the big silver thing on
the fone pole). You pro'lly aren't supposed to use it, but what the
hell...they don't really care. I use it all the time, and telco doesn't
bother me at all. Uses?

    Well, say you're getting a toar at IBM, and you come across a fone
that's attached to a modem. You know the modem would be much....fun, but if
only you knew the number....well, you wait till the toar guide is busy, and
grab the fone. Just dial 1-800-MY-ANI-IS, and listen. You'll hear a
computer generated voice say: "You're ANI is....(555) 555-1212" and then
repeat.

    That particular situation will never happen to you unless you're lucky
as shit, but you get the idea. Good at school, work, banks, etc...it's
almost worth carrying a one-piece fone to hook up to the line for calling
in case there isn't a fone around....(hint, hint) I wish I had known that
one at my old high school. Much usefulness. In case you missed it, the ANI
is:
1-800-MY-ANI-IS or 1-800-692-6447. Enjoy.
