I don't know. I cannot seem to get my carrier to identify a situation where
I would want to terminate a call and the LRN I would get back would be
732040xxxx or similar. They keep telling me that it exists in the LERG6 and
LERG6ATC and LERG6ODD, and that's fine, but why would it be in an NPANXX
rate deck???

I'm not, AFAIK. This is a termination deck. I don't even know of a phone
number that would return an LRN like this. I'm trying to figure out if I
don't know something or if my termination carrier is mildly nutso.

And that's what I'm trying to figure out. I believe the same, but if this
is true, why would a termination rate deck include 732040 as an LRN prefix
so we can do LCR? Why include a rate in a deck that will never occur?

Unless it will occur and there's something I don't know or understand.

Thus this thread. :-)
