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. 73, Gareth.
