Check out www.switchboard.com. From the blurb:

They forgot "Change the entry for any person or business in the US from a throwaway AOL trial account, or using an anonymous web proxy and pseudonymous remailer." Hope this helps.

Is this the same data that was supposed to go on that Lotus CD-ROM? Is this publicly available info?

It's from the Database America CD-ROM, which is one of the cheaper and less complete ones. It's all publicly available information, or was. There are probably tens of thousands of numbers that have been changed or unlisted recently. Unlike the original CD-ROM, Switchboard does not provide a (easy) way to build large mailing lists or do reverse address lookups (like "who lives at this address on Pennsylvannia Avenue" or "who might be on vacation in a building with line of sight to this place"). -rich
