I'm sorry I can't help you find one. But I hope that you are looking for
them only for their collectable value. I think that AT&T, and any other
phone company, has probably long since removed this nice little "feature"
from the computers that run the lines. So if you're looking to make some
free phone calls, I don't think it will work. But then again, I don't work
for a phone company, so I could be completely wrong on this.
Best of luck either way.
