 CS>> New Dehli, 91-1- phone code .  No nodes there now so
it's moot but
 CS>> used to have a small thriving community.

 DD>> How did anyone in USA contact them?

 CS> Dial translation codes properly setup handle that by prepending the
 CS> international access code before any 91- entries.  Without those though,
 CS> it's possible to dial 911 inside the USA if trying to reach New Delhi.

 CS> There was a little chatter about it long ago when I was in Z1 and they
 CS> had nodes in Z6 there.  It was considered a non-issue as most folks were
 CS> used to blocking 911 from automated validation dialbacks anyways (or at
 CS> least had seen the chatter about it enough to understand the concept).

DD> That's interesting - until the advent of these 000-IONs, I don't recal
DD> ever hearing the blocking of dialling 000-numbers discussed at any of
DD> the local sysop "meetings" or in Z3 tech/administrative echoes.


Probably no need there until then?  That would be my best guess but you
¨probably had a little chatter from those with call back verifiers on other
¨numbers being entered?  I learned about such things first that way but was
told ¨by my NC in a little 'info pack' about having someone check my
'international ¨dial' translations before i used them or I 'might get a
suprise'.  Info on that ¨was pretty easy to get from my local net.
