I also learned that article numbers are local and arbitrary and no guide to anyone except me. I stand by my comments about zip-to-area code mappings, but I was all wrong to say that Carl Moore said it. Carl Wright | Lynn-Arthur Associates, Inc.

You are of course correct that zip codes have no connection with telephone area codes. One new thing you will see in the Digest (comp.dcom.telecom version) as of today is a new set of reference numbers. We are now generating our own reference numbers for each message rather than leaving it up to the gateway machine (which had been accuvax and is now casbah.acns.nwu.edu). The message reference numbers you see from now on will include the volume, issue and Digest message number with the word 'telecom' in front. By including this reference number in REplies (as most of you do anyway) it will tell people which issue to look in for the original. The old system of saying 'in 123456@accuvax' was not very descriptive. The new system should make it much easier to cross reference old items. And to repeat, in case you missed it yesterday: TELECOM Digest will be continued in comp.dcom.telecom as before. No changes being made. PAT]
