Simple words Michiel.  If you dial 000 from outside OZ, you will not reach
the ¨OZ emergency services.  You will at the worst, in Z1 get the operator.
 Inside ¨Z3, you will get the emergency services.  Thats why nodes in Z3
need to block ¨000- dials outbound.

It does not matter what zone enters the 000- numbers.  People inside OZ
have to ¨block them from outdialing.  Just like people in Z1 have to block
outdialing ¨911 which has been done since the inception of Fidonet in Z1
and you dont hear ¨people there screaming about it.

Do you understand yet?  I do not know how to make it simpler.
