I need to get some Telex or FAX numbers in England (U.K.) I do not feel like buying those $100 telex number books. Can anyone help me?

Check your dialing instructions for how to reach the Western Union operator, but I think you dial '17' if you are on a WUTCO circuit. But if they are as understaffed and overloaded as in the past, you'll decide your time is worth money and buy the directory! The last time I had occassion to use WUTCO operator assistance (on a Saturday morning about 10 AM) I waited ten minutes on hold, with only the message 'All positions are busy, MOM ... MOM' flashing on my terminal screen every thirty seconds or so. (In telex parlance, MOM = 'One Moment Please'). PAT]
