Patrick, did you go through telco people, or call their number directly? TAP had published a nationwide list of CNA bureau numbers back around 1981, but those haven't been valid for a long time now. If you have the current number(s), how did you get it (them)? Just curious, of course. :-) Tom Ace {sun,pyramid}!hoptoad!lever!ace ace@lever.com [Moderator's Note: Illinois Bell sells their CNA service to the public, with pleasure. Just 35 cents per call gets you two listings. If the number is non-pub, they will say so. If there is no record of the number, that's tough. You pay anyway. The lookups take about ten seconds each. After two, the clerk disconnects you. When the clerk answers 'Name and Address, area and number?' just say the area 312/708 and the seven digit number. Have a pencil and paper handy; they do not like to repeat themselves. They'll give you the name and address. From 312/708: dial only the seven digits, 796-9600. From elsewhere: 312-796-9600. PAT]
