>> Hi List,

>>    After phoning FS tech support about the phone number reading issue and

>>
>> Hello,
>>
>>    In a recent discussion on a JAWS mailing list, it was pointed out that

>> prior to that, JAWS read phone numbers in the way most people say them.

>>    With number processing controlled by Eloquence and punctuation set to

>>
>> seven two seven eight o three eight six o o
>>
>> Now, the same phone number is read as follows:
>>
>> seven hundred twenty-seven eight hundred three eighty-six hundred

>>    Thank you in advance,

>>    Thanks all,
