The standard scheme uses a "+" to represent the international access code from your particular country; this is followed by the country code and the actual number. For example: +44 1 246 8091 in London +32 2 123 4567 in Brussels etc. In those areas in the US that can dial their own international calls, the "+" is replaced by 011. I believe this standard is proposed/supported/endorsed or whatever by the CCITT. Let's stick to it! Martin Harriss pyuxjj!martin
