Just to widen this to mostly everyone within the United States, I want
to expand the availability of this service.

Please comment which city you would like to add here for local
calling.

Cities already covered:

* NYC
* Atlanta
* East Los Angeles (Rialto area)
* Albuquerque
* Miami (incl. the Florida Keys)
* West Los Angeles
* Salt Lake City
* Las Vegas
* Reno
* Philadelphia (specifically Zone One)
* Orlando
* Boston
* Sydney, AUS
* San Francisco
* Oakland, CA
* Houston
* Austin, TX
* Fredericksburg, VA
* Akron, OH
* Cleveland (Terrace Rate Center), OH


(I don't think Canada would be eligible; save Sydney, Australia where
someone there graciously gave us his numbering resources to forward it
here)

If the upvotes are more than 15 in the comments, I'll add the number.

How could Canada be made eligible?

Um... this is hard to explain.

Regional Telephone Corporation is based in New York as a ULEC
(Unbundled Local Exchange Carrier / actual term from Bellcore
documents).

We don't have access to numbering resources in Canada unless someone
would graciously lend us a number from there with unlimited inbound.

Cleveland? What about UK and Germany? They have a lot of Amiga Users,
a lot with modems

Done (for Cleveland).

Please note the number, 234-702-5300.

We don't have access to numbering resources from the UK and Germany. I
wish we did.

The number I posted is for Akron, OH callers.

I found one (in the Terrace rate center) for Cleveland, OH.

Please note the number, 216-260-2250.

Dallas or Fort Worth would be cool. What kind of service is this. I've
been thinking about getting a landline and doing dial-up UUCP on an
SGI server. I have like 5 modems

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I actually have a number for that.

469-501-5890.

This is a BBS modem pool which can be explained by dialing up that
number using a terminal and modem.
