I have heard (in telecom) that NYNEX and some others are now offering white pages on CDROM, tapes, etc, alone or with update services. Anybody know about such a service/product existing for Indiana? Thanks. ghg

Indiana Bell could offer such a service for the parts of the state that they serve, but those would not include such places as Fort Wayne (the second largest city in the state), Lafayette (where Mr. Goble is), and much of the Upper Wabash and Tippecanoe valleys, including the moderately large towns of Wabash and Logansport, all of which are served by GTE. In addition, significant portions of Northern Indiana, including much if not all of Koszciusko County (Warsaw and the heart of the lake resort region) are served by United Telephone. There are also some independent telcos in small rural communities across the northern part of the state, such as the Reservoir Telephone Company which serves much of southern Huntington County. If such a service were to be offered, it would probably be offered by the people who put out the phone-book-on-microfiche collection (University Microfilms of Ann Arbor?), not the telcos themselves.

Rarely do you see anything from there associated with the 'Indiana Bell' other areas of the state connect with. They seem to do their own thing there, and identify with Illinois, and Illinois Bell's directories, etc. PAT]
