Some of the phone numbers are from a list posted by [LVC]. Some media addresses are from [DB], [TD], and [AF]. There is also material from [AE]. Many of the smaller organizations were provided by [PN] or [JC]. I'm pretty sure some of these are way out of date. It would be nice if someone could add more commentary about the organizations.
