>Description:
	There are two new area codes in Massachusetts which are not listed in
the na.phones file.  These become mandatory as of 1 January 1998, so it would
be good to fix them before 1.3 goes out. :-)

>How-To-Repeat:
	Add too many telephones to Massachusetts.  Watch area codes split.
Don't update the file.

>Fix:
At the very least, the lines

617:Arlington:Massachusetts:MA
617:Winchester:Massachusetts:MA

need to change to move those cities to the 781 area code:

781:Arlington:Massachusetts:MA
781:Winchester:Massachusetts:MA

To give some representation to the other new area code, I'd suggest adding
the following entries:

508:Foxboro:Massachusetts:MA
508:Framingham:Massachusetts:MA
978:Acton:Massachusetts:MA
978:Ayer:Massachusetts:MA
978:Boxborough:Massachusetts:MA
978:Concord:Massachusetts:MA
978:Maynard:Massachusetts:MA
978:Lowell:Massachusetts:MA
781:Bedford:Massachusetts:MA
781:Lexington:Massachusetts:MA
781:Wellesley:Massachusetts:MA

Most of these are largish towns or otherwise famous (Ayer and Boxborough are
there because NetBSD users live in those towns ;-).  Note that Bedford is not
New Bedford, which is in the na.phones list already.

If you'd like a complete list of Eastern Massachusetts towns and their area
codes, here it is (from Bell Atlantic's web page).
