FEATURE OPERATION:
To activate call forwarding variable with the ESP's number as the forward-to
number, the ESP's client dials the call forwarding variable activation
code.  A recall dial tone (stutter dial tone) is provided, and then the 
ESP's client dials the ESP's number.  When the ESP answers the call, activation
is complete.  (If the ESP does not answer, the customer may repeat the
process within a specified amount of time, e.g., one minute, and the feature 
will be activated.)  Depending on the type of central office switch serving 
the ESP's client, while call forwarding variable is active, the ESP's client's 
line will receive a reminder ring whenever a call is forwarded.

To deactivate the feature, the ESP's client dials the call forwarding variable 
deactivation code.

When call forwarding variable is active, the ESP's client's ability to 
originate calls will be unaffected.
