Better luck with AT&T than I had with the Monon Telephone Company.

They have a switch that's fairly new, so I called them--I'm a loyal but 
tightly captive customer of the last 25 years.

Their chief technician told me, "Sure, our switch is new.  There's 
nothing to it more than a setting on a software screen.  But we don't 
have to do it because it's not in our tariffs.  So forget it."

And then he hung up on me.
