I've been trying to reach Judith Sutton at the NCC in Manchester, re. the OSI protocol analyzer over X.25 that was mentioned in a post of a few days ago, but with little (i.e. no) success. I've tried both numbers from the post (tel: UK 061 228 6333, and fax: UK 061 228 2579). Can anyone confirm is these are correct? If so, maybe my dialing technique is to blame: can anyone see the fault in the following, from Ottawa, dial 011 44 061 228 2579 (or 228 6333)? 011 supposedly means station to station, 44 is the UK country code, 061 is the Manchester location code, and the last 7 digits are Judith's phone & fax numbers. When I try this, I get a recorded message to the effect that the number as dialed is somehow unreachable. Replies by email, please, to pww@bnr.ca; I will post the correct phone number if that's what the problem is.... Thx, Peter W.

Thanks to all those (23, last count!) who replied. For the sake of anyone who might be curious, the number is right (just finished faxing my document!!!), but the dialing technique was wrong: when dialing from within the UK, you need the leading '0' on the location code (i.e. 061), but when dialing from outside the UK (i.e. when using a a country code), the '0' is superfluous and causes errors.... So the correct dialing info is: (you_local_system's_overseas_indicator) 44 61 228 2579 Thanks again, Peter W. 1990 Aug 31 at 11:17 EDT I've been trying to reach Judith Sutton at the NCC in Manchester, re. the OSI protocol analyzer over X.25 that was mentioned in a post of a few days ago, but with little (i.e. no) success.
