    <p>Historically this has been on the carrier to perform the
      necessary translation and route to the appropriate local dig-alert
      number, just as the carrier redirects 611 to their own support
      desk. This was also easier when a switch only had one digalert
      line to worry about. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Once upon a time I had an exhaustive list of routing numbers in
      my nation-wide translations table. <br>
