Can't say for sure if it works, but AT&T is far from alone in this.
When I was at BNR/Northern Telecom one of our marketing folks explained
why NT spend lots of $$$$ to put a DV-1 terminal on JRs secretarys desk
in "Dallas".

If you've never heard of the DV-1, that's because it succeeded just
as well as the 3B1.  No smiley, I'm afraid.
