   Bastard tech, remember?  Region is encoded in two most significant   
   numbers of network's number (those are decimals).  Thus, yours (this   
   time) 2:5075/128 becomes zone:2, region:50, network:5075, node: 128.   
   With land-line phones dieing off all this becomes arbitrary and ad-hoc.   
   If you're interested to find out who 2:5075/128 is then I can guide you   
   (it's easy), but why would you do that is beyond my understanding.
