So, why were they dialing international when ATT WorldNet is closer/cheaper?
Because, as I said, his agency had/has an account with PSI.
Standimg orders are to use it. When not available, they fall back
to calling LD.
They could have also used ATT and punched a tunnel through
to their host (still have to allow ATT dial port access).
So YOU are volunteering to shepard this through Procurement?
