I decided to do a little exploring of the 950-1288 service.  Here is a
transcript, for those who are interested.  Note that the modem that
answers is V.32/MNP4.  Also note that there are several calls involved
here; after each failed attempt to connect to a remote host, the modem
would disconnect.  I've deleted from this trace the intermediate call
progress information (it was always the same).l
 
This seems to work JUST FINE for access AT&T Mail -- at 9600bps, V.32
(which you can't do through their 800 number, I don't think).  I'm not
a cracker, so I didn't try to discover what "APPLICATION" the "phila"
host might have been looking for.

[Moderator'es Note: Thanks very much for a detailed help file when
calling 950-1288. I am posting this in the Telecom Archives for
further reference by interested parties. Look for the 'exploring.950.1288'
file. The archives are available by anonymous ftp from lcs.mit.edu. 

Unfortunatly, 950-1288 from Chicago winds up in an intercept message
all the time, 'all circuits are busy now, try your call again later
please' ... I assume this is incorrect, but don't know who can / will
correct it. Maybe our reader from IBT in Springfield, IL will see this
and get it fixed. He was able to get 312-504 working correctly from
Rogers Park Coin ... maybe he knows who to see about 950-1288. 
