no she didn't... she may have also been a ZC but i do not recall her wearing
her ZC hat when she was promoting the use of that method...

oh? the last version of FTS-5000 that i find in my library and on the ftsc.org
site states otherwise...

  Field 6: Phone number (PSTN or ISDN)

     Type: string;  Length: 3 to 29 (theoretically);  Characters:
     digits and dashes, or the exact string "-Unpublished-"

     This field contains two or more numeric subfields separated by
     dashes (2Dh).  The first field is the country code. The rest of
     the phone number should be formatted according to local customs.

     The various parts of the phone number are frequently used to
     derive cost and routing information, as well as what number is to
     be dialled. A typical example of the data in a phone number field
     is 1-800-555-0100, corresponding to country 1 (USA), area 800
     (area code), exchange 555, and number 0100.

     Alternatively, this field may contain the string "-Unpublished-"
     if the node has no conventional phone number, and uses the "Pvt"
     or "Hold" keywords.  It is recommended that software be able to
     recognise this string as an indicator to never attempt to dial
     this node by PSTN/ISDN, no matter what the keyword.

     This field may also contain the static IP address of an IP-only
     node in decimal format with periods replaced with dashes, and
     prefixed with a country code of 000.  This method should only be
     used in exceptional circumstances, since it risks conflict with
     conventional dialling, and is almost always better to list a
     fully qualified domain name in a field that allows it.
