Hey.. I know it's an old thread, but it's been a while since I've logged
on...

That outdial at UVa (ublan.acc.virginia.edu or ublan.acs.virginia.edu, I've
forgotten) is in area code 804...  It's in Charlottesville, and does accept
local calls...  (ATDT9,,xxxxxxx)  

The Va Tech CBX (vtcbx.cc.vt.edu) will let you connect to on-campus and 
select off campus machines...  It's area code 703, in Blacksburg...  The
#s that are valid on-campus machines start with 231 and 232..  You may still
be able to access local off-campus boards by doing the following at the 
CBX prompt:

call datakit
vtcbx
c 9,xxxxxxx

This used to fake the CBX out into thinking you weren't calling from outside
VA Tech...  I haven't tried it in a while, though, and I'd heard that it
didn't work..  But hack away.
