AWL> Any ideas on 3-2-4 v. 3-3-3 numbers ie 076-39-2379 076-392-379?

db> Not really .. I've seen them often used inter-changeably (some UWS
db> Nepean literature uses 3-2-4, others use 3-3-3).

AWL> I find the xx-xxxx form more asthetic.

Yeah, I do too, not sure why tho, you would expect the balanced set
would be.

AWL> xxx-xxx is closer to the actual implementation of exchanges...

Nope, xx-xxxx is.

And its all academic now anyway as the new phone numbering scheme adds
another digit. That will favor the xx-xxxx-xxxx style, and is a fucked
abortion coz its the reverse of what the US uses.
