[comp.dcom.telecom] Prefix Lists

Thanx for all the requests for lists so far ... it will take a bit of
time to respond to some of the requests, but hopefully people should
start to receive their lists in a few days ... that is, for those who
ordered only a few.

At this point, it will be unwieldy to send along the entire set at
once.  Meanwhile, this site (contact.uucp) doesn't have the space at
present to hold the entire list until they can get a larger hard drive
on line. That could take some time. Those in the Toronto area with
modem equipment could get in touch with me (djcl@contact.uucp) for BBS
systems that carry the lists (CRS, Room 222, etc).

Is there a site that could come forward with an offer to house the
entire list for ftp/internet/mail access? If so, perhaps requests for
entire sets could be handled there.

A note about the lists ... they contain just the NXX code and a place
name abbreviated to ten characters. Some places may require a good
guess as to what they could be.

Meanwhile, for those wanting Canadian or Caribbean prefix/nxx codes,
they should already be available in the Telecom Digest Archives in a
better form than the lists I have for USA points (ie. more detail,
list of complete names).
