The Business::CreditCard perl module will let you enter the first portion
of a number and then generate a checksum for you, reading the source you
can even see what the first numbers should be to represent different issuers.
I usually just use 1234 1234 1234 1238, which is easy to remember and has
a valid checksum.

   twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.  -- Theodore Roosevelt
