This maybe a silly question, but here goes anyway:  I'm looking for
Area Code/NNX pairs.  BSD UNIX(tm) (probably other versions, too) comes
with an Area Codes database as part of the quiz(6) program.  I use the
csh alias:

	alias whereac "grep </usr/games/lib/quiz.k/areas"

to return information on Area Codes.  So, it works like this:

% whereac 515
515:central iowa|IA:des moines
% whereac 503
503:oregon|OR:

What I'd like is a listing that has the NNX's listed.  So I can say
that 515/255 is Des Moines, while 515/964 is Ankeny and 503/645 is
Beaverton, OR, etc.

Does anyone have an Area Code and NNX list?

[Moderator's Note: Such a list, if it exists, would be hopelessly out of
date in a short time. New prefixes are constantly being opened up. Rather
than try to maintain such a list for myself, when I want to know the name
of a town associated with a certain prefix, I use AT&T's 'name place'
service. Just call any AT&T operator (10288-0) and ask, "Give me the
name place for ACC-XYZ". She will ring the rate/route bureau in Morris, IL
(815-181 in case you are interested) and will ask them. It will take all
of thirty seconds or so. And it is totally free.   P. Townson]
