are. It is a piece of machinery (Badger is the brand name) which is located
in the SCC (supposedly). It is used for remote trunk testing and it grabs the
circuit to be tested and runs whatever on it. I have a feeling this is more
for the independant telcos but I couldn't say for sure. Later

Does anyone know if either/both 900's and 976's terminate in POTS number?
(Ever?) Something tells me that they probably do..

I believe that I asked someone that already and neither of them did. They
both were arranged really strangely and didn't have POTS numbers (or at least
not standard POTS numbers). If you could log onto the switch for the 900 or
976 number, you could probably find out, anyway, if it's got a POTS
translation, but then again, that's a whole different baby. I'll ask again
and repost when I find out unless Phantom and DP beat me to it (likely). Later

Do not terminate in POTS numbers.

that 900s as in the kind you see on TV, like voting things| terminate in a
4e office. There is some special device that totals the calls if needed| and
then the people who are using it just call and ask about the numbers...

60/70: 900 numbers explained

I was really interested in how 900 numbers worked, it is not common phreak
knowledge, so I researched via a BSTJ and a little bit of engineering.
Actually, I wrote a file on the Mass Announcement System (MAS) that is about
80 sectors, but I never released it because I thought no one gave a fuck. If
anyone here wants this file, mail me and I'll get it to you somehow, or upload
it here.
900 numbers do terminate in a Number 4 ESS, the 4E that has been allocated
as your MAS node. As of 1980 (old info, I know) there were 7 No. 4 ESS
switches that were MAS nodes. That number might be more now, butt the nodes
were in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, LA, Newar, and Philly. Each one of
these covers a particular part of the country. (oops, that 'Newar' up there is
supposed to be 'Newark'). For instance, if Randy dialed 1-900-555-1212 (the
Dial it 900 service information line) his call would be sent to the Atlanta
No. 4 ESS MAS node. If Mad Hatter dialed the same number, his call would be
sent to the Philly MAS node. (Oh, Alaska and Hawaii are also included in
this).
Back to the original question by Crax, 900 numbers can terminate in a POTS
number, but I have never seen it done, so I would guess that it's not a common
occurance. This is called cut through calling, or technically, Media
Stimulated Calling (MSC). MSC basically sends one call per some unit of time
to a DDD number.
