Not so, Christian. CIS seems to have run out of 7xxxxx numbers. Most of the 100xxx numbers are outside the US, but new members in the US and Canada are now getting 102xxx numbers. —Betty

Christian, > every number over 100000,xxxx is outside the US _Maybe_ outside the US, but not outside North America. New Canadian members are now being given 1xyzabc,xyza numbers. Might be so with new US members, too. 73, Kelly

Might be so with new > US members, too. Exactly. From what I understand, Compuserve has just about run out of the 7xxxx series of IDs, though, I believe they recycle them. As a CB helper, it used to be convenient to see a 1xxxxx series ID and know the person was in Europe. Doesn't work anymore. <Sigh> Stuart

Not every, Christian. This is generally true, but there are some exceptions, and many newcomers from North America (Canada?) get some 102xxxx numbers… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
