MvdV> Hello Carol,

 CS> Correct.  Remove the countrey code and it's only dangerous
 CS> to have 000- inside OZ on an OZ node.  Thats why they do
 CS> not use it.  With no country code however, they can block
 CS> it easily.

MvdV> I believe you to be in error here. For the following reason:

MvdV> When an OZ node calls a 000- node outside OZ the exact same string of
MvdV> digits is presented to the dialing routines as when the node to be cal
MvdV> resides inside OZ.

MvdV> Consequently the very same number will be dialed. Therefore when it is
MvdV> dangerous for OZ nodes to have 000- nodes inside OZ, it is also danger
MvdV> for them if they appear anywhere else in the world.

Nope.  Not from Japan or anyplace else.  Without the OZ country code
infront of ¨the 000-it wont connect to the international switch for OZ and
then dial ¨their emergency services.
