Is there anyway to access directory assistance overseas ? Someone has
told me that the local telephone network is an ESS no.5 (whatever it
means). If it is possible without going through the operator ....
I would like to get directory assistance in both France and Australia.
Thanx in advance ...

Your best bet is via the operator. French directory assistance is
almost impossible to get even within France! (They start out with a
recording telling you to look it up in the book!)johnl@IMA.UUCP (03/08/86)
I only know of two ways to get international D.A.: Either through the operator, not recommended because it costs, or else by calling AT&T's international information service at 1-800-874-4000. I expect that direct dial for information is a long way off, because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of agreement from one country to another about how you call D.A.
