I need to get some Telex or FAX numbers in England (U.K.) I do not
feel like buying those $100 telex number books. Can anyone help me?

[Moderator's Note: In some cases the Western Union manual assistance
(operator) position can obtain *single* numbers for you if it is your
intent to send the telex message at that time. Check your dialing
instructions for how to reach the Western Union operator, but I think
you dial '17' if you are on a WUTCO circuit. But if they are as
understaffed and overloaded as in the past, you'll decide your time is
worth money and buy the directory!  The last time I had occassion to
use WUTCO operator assistance (on a Saturday morning about 10 AM) I
waited ten minutes on hold, with only the message 'All positions are
busy, MOM ... MOM' flashing on my terminal screen every thirty seconds
or so. (In telex parlance, MOM = 'One Moment Please').  PAT]
