901.0. "DTN/location codes " by SLOAN::HOM () Thu Aug 24 1989 22:10

    Is there an online listing of DTN/location codes/mailing address?
    
    For example we all know that MLO = DTN 223 = Maynard but
    how about some of the less obvious sites?

If your system has a VTX corporate menu the following will work:

$ VTX DTN

It will come up with a menu full of countries. You can find out the location
code, DTN and direct dial number for each facility.

I don't know of an online 'list' per se.

I do know of a utility that incorporates a maintained list of
site-code/descriptions, like this:

ABO Albuquerque, NM - Factory
ABT Abilene, TX - Field Service Center / Digital Servicenter
ACI Chicago, IL - Application Center For Technology / Central Area Sales Group 
ACO Acton, MA - Acton Facility
ACT Andover, MA
ADC Novi, MI - Detroit East Central Area Data Center
ADO Adelaide, Australia - Branch Office
AEO Annecy, France - Computer Special Systems
AET Andover, MA - CSME&T Marketing
AFS Akita, Japan - Field Service Center
AGO Aguadilla, Puerto Rico - Plant
[etc.]

This, of course, doesn't have the DTN codes.

    The DTN nad location codes are all in the DIGITAL Telephone Directory,
    I believe May 1989 is the latest issue.

     AYOV18::DTN notes conference, note 2.2 (the text file for what appears
     in the VTX DTN infobase).    

     How many people would be interested in being able to look up (online):

	-  sites/outside numbers using the DTN exchange number
	-  DTN/outside numbers by site code?

     (This is a personal survey :-))

     A monthly DTN-ordered list is also produced somewhere.

    On a somewhat related subject, I've seen a couple utilities used
    internally, FINDSITE and FINDNODE, or something like that.
    With one, you type in a DECnet node name, and it returns the location
    of the node.  With the other, I think you type in the location code,
    and you get the decoded location out.
    
    Are these available for general internal use, and if so, where can they
    be found?

    re. .4:
    I believe FINDNODE is generally available, although our system mgr.
    told us this week that it is no longer supported. Anyone know more?

    To find the location of a node, I use VTX NODE_LOCATION.

    The tools you are looking for should be available in METOO::TOOLSHED,
    if they are infact available.  I do remember announcements for tools
    of those nature.  Good Luck.
