[mod.telecom] CNA

covert@CASTOR.DEC (John Covert) (02/12/86)

CNA stands for "Customer Name and Address."
 
Although not available to the public in most areas, it is available in
some.  For example, in Alabama, Directory Assistance provides this service
for the same price as a normal D.A. call.
 
This is also true in all of Northwestern Bell:  402 580-2255.
 
And Chicago:  312 796-9600.

    Calling the CNA in each area is not as simple as giving them
a phone number, then they give you a name.  A caller must first
provide an identification number and name.  I suppose one might
be able to find this information for a specific person and use that.
