Patrick, re your item in V9 #16 offering the file
[TELECOM Digest Guide to North American Area Codes], or
'guide.to.areacodes' within the telecom-archives . . .
Alas, I can't recall where the telecom archives are. Could you please tell
me? I can FTP the file. Thanks.

[Moderator's Gleeful Note: Ah! A chance to beat my own drum again! Thanks
for asking, Art. The telecom archives is housed for the time being at
bu-cs.bu.edu. Slightly under 10 megs of reading material is there for you,
or anyone who wants it. An almost complete set of {TELECOM Digest} for the
past 7.5 years -- it began in June, 1981 -- is available in 8 volumes. The
most recent issues are in a file called appropriately, 'telecom-recent'.
Many other text files are also available; some of which appeared in various
issues of the Digest, much of which has not ever appeared here.
Follow normal FTP protocol. After you 'ftp bu-cs.bu.edu', login as anonymous
and provide a password. You would then 'cd telecom-archives', and 'ls -l'
to see what all is available. Please help yourself. In the meantime, I have
mailed you a copy of the North American Area Code Guide.
See you tomorrow! P. Townson]kaplanj@frith.egr.msu.edu (Jeff Kaplan) (07/04/89)
Are there archives of telecom kept where I can FTP them?
Could you please send me an index?
Thank you.

[Moderator's Note: The archives of TELECOM Digest, along with many other
interesting articles relating to telecom subjects, is available by
anonymous ftp from bu-cs.bu.edu. After ftp'ing to bu-cs.bu.edu, you would
log on as 'anonymous' and enter some non-null password. You would then
'cd telecom-archives', and 'ls' or 'ls -la' to see what all is available.
Most (not all) back issues of TELECOM Digest are available. They are filed
by year and volume, then by issues within given volumes. The sheer size
of the archives forced me to compress all but the last year's worth, along
with many of the other feature stories. You'll need to be able to uncompress
the files on your end. Sorry, no index was kept for earlier volumes. PT]
