Subject: MEX tele directory

I tried using MEX with my Ampro Littleboard and SMART modem overlay.

I would prefer to see the telephone directory with a single character
reference number, (e.g. A-Z,0-9) followed by the number to be dialed
followed by room for a 20 character comment that could give the name
of the system and perhaps city (like the PAMS list that Bill Blue puts
out).

As it is, I have to make up some mnemonic ID that distinguishes 8 different
RBBS's and is different than the PAMS list.

With the ability to include a comment field, I could abbreviate the info
in the PAMS list.

Like this:

A 1,213,4727339;IBMPC Beyond War
B 1,714,8988634;IBMPC Westminister

What do other people think?

Ted.
