Bruce, >credit data. Credit bureaus can provide data, but access is controlled by >legislation intended to protect consumers from people like you <g>. I'm not looking for top secret or private information, just the same information that is found the Coles directory (available in many public libraries), but in machine-readable form. Coles wants megabucks for it in the convenient form of 9-track tape, so I'm exploring the alternatives. FWIW, the Coles record includes only name, address, phone number, year the phone was installed, and a letter code that supposedly corresponds to the range [poverty] – – – – [Trump]. Usually, its the same for everyone on the block. This may be a borderline violation of privacy, but its really not that different from what you can find out by driving past the house and seeing if the car in the driveway is a Pinto or a Porsche Thanks for the information re: NYNEX, etc. -Larry
