I route calls out of CNET by dialing 9-1-XXX-XXXX when I use my 
Stanaphone account, and 8-1-XXX-XXXX when I use Gizmo.
Since I access  Asterisk via several phones, either my house system 
Panasonic 1232, my EM switch via trunk circuits, and SIP phones, my 
situation may differ from others, but I sure as hell don't want to dial 
ALL CNET calls with 10 digits.

I have made NO provisions for using nor receiving the 200 NPA. I dial 
CNET calls as 7 digits for NA, and Asterisk adds the 1 towards the 
network. FOr other than NA calls, I dial 011.
To my mind, this is about as close as I can get to the what used to be 
normal NANP, before all the political types stuck their fingers in the mix.

Asterisk can certainly be programmed  around this, but it seems silly to 
me right now to have an NPA long before we need it, if ever.
Several of us have multiple office codes that could be released, or have 
been released for others to use. Office codes can easily be divided up 
between two distant switches, if necessary.
