Getting a ROSE address?

Getting a ROSE address?

[Nick Filer]

I have searched but failed to find how to obtain the 10 digit ROSE address
for my machine. Do I just generate a random number - I know the first 4
digits (the DNIC) need to be locally allocated.

Thanks.

Nick

If I've got it right - ROSE was done on DNIC and phone numbers

The first four digits (DNIC) for the UK is 2340

The last six digits should made up of your three digit 'area'
code then three digit 'exchange' code.

From the phone numbers in your sig block, I guess your last
six digits are 161 - from the Manchester all-figure area STD
code 0161, and the 275 from your local exchange making your
ROSE address:

2340161275

I guess it goes to ashes out in the shires.
