[TriLUG] NCCom point code being blocked

[M. Mueller]

Teresa,

Here is the information to support the discussion we had earlier today.

This evening NCCom (5-87-128) ran BNS queries against every number listed in 
attached file wtn.csv.  These numbers are known working telephone numbers 
culled from NCCom's X.25 LIDB access operation. There are 255 numbers in 
wtn.csv.

We get LIDB replies on only 38 numbers.  The successful queries are 
documented in bns.csv.  The OCN column indicates the Operating Company that 
sent the entry.

Earlier today, I called the Illuminet NOC and had trouble ticket #25129 
opened to investigate exactly why we have no responses to so many queries.  
We traced a BNS query to 9197540479 (my phone number, served by BellSouth).  
The BNS query was traced to BellSouth's "doorstep".  That was no response 
given to the query.  This is one example of many such failed BNS queries.
