[comp.dcom.telecom] NPA/NXX Listings Available

I just did an update to the exchange listings for New York City 212
and 718.  These will be more accurate than the ones offered earlier.

They are available in two flavours: chart form and line-by-line form.
The former is similar in format to the Canadian NXX charts on the
Archives.  The latter gives each NXX on a separate line. Distinctions
are now made by the general municipality (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn,
Queens, Staten Island).  It can provide a guide as to how the new 917
NPA will form (that is, the split of 212, giving 917 to Bronx, and
likely some other NYC services).

Thanks to Patrick Humphrey, there is a chart available for NPA 713
(Houston TX area). Thanks to another Digest reader, there is also a
special listing of 214/903 prefixes available (getting ready for the
214/903 split).

As for the other NPAs, I do have some listings for each North American
NPA, but I am in the process of revising these, given that some
strange data was found in them on occasion. Eventually, the idea is to
make both a chart and a line-by-line form of each (I have a utility to
create charts, and a BC Digest reader sent down a C program to do the
opposite (thanx)).
