*** Quoting Roy Witt from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***


 CS>> DSN is 315-252-7330 (I think).  No country code or rather, 315 is
 CS>> 'asia' unless i got it wrong and it's 312.

 RW>> 312 is the area code for Chicago. But you'd have to dial a 1 before
 RW>> it would connect.

 CS> Ah but not in the DSN world!  I get the 312 and 315 backwards
 CS> sometimes. One is USA and the other is Asia.

RW> 315 is Asia then...I called it (rang twice) and didn't get the 'you mu
RW> dial a one' message from the phone company.

Roy, you do not have access to DSN so you dialed Holland...

To be clear, DSN is a totally separate phone system with only a few access
¨points outside it to the 'rest of the world'.  It uses the same type of
gear ¨but has no relationship at all to that numbering schema (?NANFA?). 
Bob Seaborn ¨tracked a call from me and to him, it comes from someplace
mid-west USA.  ¨Colorado or something?  He did some sort of lookup due to
sucky lines which I ¨get in summer when the local switch housed building
hits 110F.

On hot days in summer, I have to wait til sunset and a bit after, to get a
¨decent connection out.

RW> Must be a coincidence that you would pick that number...

I didnt pick it.  Thats DSN numbering and long predates my arrival in Japan.

Thems the breaks!
