Nothing really to add here. One minor observation. Two calls per
destination number, then the dialer sequences to the next one. Wonder
why? Also, it seems a bit odd for a "800" type service to have
consecutive numbers, never mind more than one. Such numbers are
relatively scarce, and a single number (which is really only used for
billing purposes, and is forwarded to some "normal" number at the
destination which might actually be a block of phones) is all that
would be needed.

I rather doubt it's going to run into anything useful. You _may_ be told
that the number is a private party (and run into privacy rules/laws), or
that the number is assigned to the "Family Fun Tourist Trap, Fish Market,
and Hosting Service" in Port-au-Prince or some such law abiding location.

Oh, I'm sure of that too.

>Any suggestions as to how to round up a "posse" to compare notes?

I'm in "the old West" (Arizona), and the term "posse" here means a bunch
of citizens summoned to aid a peace officer. Given the likely foreign
jurisdictions, I don't think you'd have much luck.

OOPS! It was the same number every time. I did the list up in Excel and
used AutoFill and didn't proofread. Sorry!
