[VoIP] Status monitoring

Interesting to see how many working Asterisk Tandems there are in the 
US/Canada which are not listed on the /192  page.

I keep any eye on the UK switches - I'm the one with plenty of information 
on the old STD(DDD) codes so tend to get involved when some-one is looking 
for an 'authentic' old code.

I also been working on a CNET codebook for UK/Irish/New Zealand codes and 
numbers - it is a replica of the British Post Office STD Codebook of the 
1960's - the early days of long distance dialling here in the UK.  It lives 
as a PDF file on the UK website, such that members can download it and print 
it out to have their own copy. It is nearing completion.
