There have been several messages during the past week discussing this
subject. But if you missed them, this is a quick summary:
Remote Call Forwarding: A telephone number that forwards incoming calls
to another number.
Useful when it is a LD call between town A and B but calls from town A
to town C and from town B to town C are local.
A RCF in town C forwards calls to the modem pool in town A and that
allows folks in town B to have access with a local call.
