Hmm.. phone bills used to be formatted 0207 or 0208 from BT. Many people thought that was proper becuase it appeared on their phone bill. That is why there is such a high percentage of people that put webpages up with 0207 or 0208 for their phone number rather than breaking it after the 20, which is more proper. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
