So are mine. But 'local calls' are a somewhat meaningless thing these days.
The 'local access numbers' for all dial-up providers are actually handled
somewhere in Boston or Springfield by a computer system somewhere in some
'central office' facility. In my case, the central office (in Boston) was
flooded last night. This knocked out some dial-up providers, along with the
phone system at a couple of hospitals in the Boston area.  My provider sent me 
E-Mail that things are fixed now.
