SUMMARY
=======

Some local PBX switches will not allow local or long distance calls without
first entering an access code. Some switches also require an access code after
the number has been dialed. The use of calling card rules in Telephony will
allow Dial-Up Networking to dial these access codes to reach outside lines.
