It seems that for NA ops, limited use of cut numbers
works well. Using a T for leading zeros seems to work
pretty well, and using O for a middle zero in the
serial number does ok most of the time. Using A for 1
confuses many of the ops. N for 9 usually works due
to the use of it in RST, but it seems to work best if
you are using it only for the last digit of a serial
number. Anything beyond T, N and O will confuse
almost all ops. I can handle A also, but anything
else would confuse me.
