QUESTION POSED ON: 29 July 2003
It was very interesting to know about ENUM. Out of curiosity and to know learn more about ENUM, could you please throw some light on this through your inputs and do you know of any Web sites related to this?

>
ENUM is an initiative taken on by the IETF to provide DNS mapping for you phone numbers, so you could have a phone, fax, and children's line all map to your one DNS entry making communication to your URL or web resource easier than having three phone numbers. This is a global service. There is an excellent article at www.enum.info.
