Alas, it does not.

In these days, as I note, of competitive local exchange carriers, there
is *no way that I know of* to get a listing of *all* local prefixes --
especially since it varies from carrier to carrier.

I do see the alternative approach you're taking there, I just don't
think I can acquire the data to do it.

And besides, doing it that way *breaks* the few prefixes in 727 for
which the +1 *is* required.

<sigh>

Damn PSC's.  Thanks anyway.
