There used to be a mag tape called a "V&H" tape that you could get
from AT&T for about $43. It had every NPA-NXX code, the location's
name, and its Vertical and Horizontal coordinates.

One could easily find the mileage between any two COs in the country.

Especially useful would be such a list that also contained the type of
switches at each NPA-NXX, and also listed the nearest POPs for IXCs.

Much of this sort of info is now sold by specialised publishers, but I
was wondering if there are still any reasonable priced sources or even
public domain lists. Any such list FTPable?
