Thanks for that, but I'm afraid that the continual OSM worldwide
translation problem is raising it's ugly head yet again.

In Australia at least, "telephone exchange" refers to the building itself,
which houses the Main Frame (where all the cables are terminated) & the
various types of switching equipment. In 20 years of working for our
Telecom, I never heard the phrase "Central Office" - the closest thing that
would refer to is an Admin Office of some sort.

Thanks
