Re: Access Numbers

Our ISP is exanding into other areas. Where can I find a list of what numbers certain cities can dial locally? We want to get the best location and phone number for the buck.
There is no such list, esp. free. For a LARGE sum of money, some firms will sell you a best-guess, but I betcha they CYA themselves but good. The LERG will not tell you. Best 1st order: the local white pages and a map. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

Doesn't WANDL do this? I thought it was designed for this purpose but costs a lot 150K per license. Bora ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Lesher" <wb8foz@nrk.com> To: "nanog list" <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 5:33 PM Subject: Re: Access Numbers

Actually I got it out of Valor telecom today. Here's the deal. 943-XXXX covers Monahans, TX. SWBell says only Fort Stockton can can call. They can't tell me what is local to Pecos, becasue Pecos is a Valor city. Valor is nice enough to tell me that 943-XXXX is indeed local to Monahans, Fort Stockotn and Monahans. With Wireless I can shoot a T1 from Midland to Odessa (1 hop) to Monahans. Still got the T1 no local loop. I install a PRI in Monahans and pick up Fort Stockton and Monahans. Yippie!. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bora Akyol" <akyol@akyol.org> To: <wb8foz@nrk.com>; "nanog list" <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2001 10:19 PM Subject: Re: Access Numbers

http://www.ccmi.com/lcadata.html My dialup provider, StarNet, purchases databases from CCMI. Resellers can use StarNet's software to determine which one of their POPs is local given a specific NPA/NXX. For a sample application, check out http://new.JustThe.net/local/ Try, for example, 216 619 (Cleveland) and 440 254 (Leroy Twp., served out of the Painesville, OH Ameritech CO)... -- Steve Sobol, BOFH, President 888.480.4NET 866.DSL.EXPRESS 216.619.2NET North Shore Technologies Corporation http://NorthShoreTechnologies.net JustTheNet/JustTheNet EXPRESS DSL (ISP Services) http://JustThe.net mailto:sjsobol@NorthShoreTechnologies.net Proud resident of Cleveland, OH
