[comp.dcom.telecom] Yellow Pages in Argentina

[Moderator's Note: The above is the way I received this message. He
did not say if the number given is a phone number, data network
address, or what. And it may be free within Argentina, but I'll betcha
it'll show up as an international call on your phone bill from
anywhere else!! By the way, how do you like *his* address? Isn't that
a hoot! :)  PT]

I have exchanged a few messages with Manuel.  That one line message
you put in earlier from him is explained further here; the NUA (exact
meaning I am not sure of) is the number you published.  I have not
decided how this will be cleared up in telecom (I do have a list of
numbers mailed to me by Manuel).  I am making no comments about
grammar, as Manuel's everyday language is probably not English.

I tried 011-54-7222211103127 and it did not work.  (011 is
international access, and 54 is the Argentina country code, and I left
off the 0 in front of the rest of the number shown here.)

I don't know the exact translation for NUA to English.  I want to mean
the access number through the networks, not a telephone number.


[Moderator's Note: Then I guess 07222211103127 is the NUA? I tried to
connect via my local Telenet node, but it would not take collect
connections, so I tried no further.   PT]

Here is the entire message, phone numbers and all, from Manuel.  Yes,
you have mention of NUA further down (if you have an editor which you
can use to search for "NUA" string).

I only sent one line telling about it, probably it is of interest of
somebody.

These are the telephone Arpac numbers in Buenos Aires: (you have to dial
from USA as:  011-54-1-xxx-xxxx

The NUA of the yellow pages: 0 7222 211103127
The zero in the front of the number is optional (I don't know if you
have to use it from USA). 7222 means Argentina. ENTEL means Empresa
Nacional de Telecomunicaciones.

I don't know "NUA" either, but a quick check of CCITT Recommendation
X.121 shows that the country code assigned to Argentina is 722, so the
"7222" part is the DNIC (Data Network Identification Code) of an X.25
network in Argentina, and the "211103127" part is the address of a
host on that network.

Or this could apply to some communications network who has adopted the
X.121 addressing conventions (much as Telenet adopted the telco
numbering plan for its internal addressing).

About that number in Argentina: The leading "0" is some net's idea of
an access code, like the "1" for long distance in the U.S.

So the DNIC is 7222, number 211103127.

I tried it, not collect (nc). Connected okay, but a bit slowly.  It
_disabled_ pad break-out! I had to eventually wait for a timeout. I
didn't find anything it understood, except that when I guessed from
the error message syntax that it was an IBM, and typed LOGOFF, it
stopped answering, except for repeating the prompt over and over.

Digest readers have written:

>>The NUA of the yellow pages: 0 7222 211103127

>which seems to indicate that NUA is an abbreviation of some sort.
>(with N standing for Numero?)

About the NUA, it means IDN in English:

IDN = Identification Data Network (121 CCITT RECOMENDATION)

DNIC = Data Network Identification Code
NTN = Network Terminal Number

IDN = DNIC + NTN
