Here are the results: I found the following deviation (mostly spelling differences and adding of some cities): > Antigua +1; All Points 809 Antigua and Barbuda +1; All Points 809 > Aruba +297; All Points * Aruba +297; All Points 8 > Austria +43; Vienna 222 Austria +43; Vienna 1 or 222 > Bangladesh +880 Bangladesh +880; Dhaka 2 > Belgium +32 Belgium +32; Brussel 2 > Brunei +673 Brunei Darussalam +673 > Burma None?

She answered: "Of course, which countries do you want to know ?". After unsuccesfull attempts of two of the countries below she stated that she did not have the numbers of these countries and gave a special number instead (which is 06-0418). The reason is that these countries cannot be dialed directly (no automatic calls) but calls to these countries should be requested on a special number (which is 06-0410). The lady on the special foreign telephone numbers could supply me some country codes (note that this is the situation from the Netherlands, the `via' means that when asking for a telephone connection to the involved country the Dutch operator has to call this country/city): Albania unknown, calls go via Rome, Italy Burma +95 Falkland +500 (?); calls go via London, UK Jemen (South) unknown, calls go via London, UK Korea (North) +862 Lebanon +961 Mongolia unknown, calls go via USSR Syria +963 Vietnam +84 Dolf Grunbauer Tel: +31 55 433233 Internet dolf@idca.tds.philips.nl Philips Telecommunication and Data Systems UUCP ....!mcvax!philapd!dolf Dept.
