Hi, Hal:
Thanks first for your help.
It is more likely problem lies in the calling card, as you suggested. I
inquired the calling card service to confirm this possibility, but they told
me that I could try it and they didn't guarantee the result. Probably, the
CiCi provides a ISP which is so different from that of my direct long
distance service.
Thank you again for your help and your time on my problem.
Best regards,
Spinsight
