I tossed mine years ago, once I was sure they were available on CD.  

The law firm I use still has a large law library.  
It is where people go for some quiet or to eat lunch.

I've got a good collection still here in boxes, haven't had a chance to go 
through them yet.    

I think the plan will be to verify I have a .pdf copy of the ones I care of and 
then sell/discard/donate to the cause as appropriate.

    Out of curiousity, i learn this nonsense from folks in the know. Where do 
folks in the know learn this shit? Is it that they were involved in the day 
when people in the service industry knew what they were doing, or prior to 
mailing lists was there some analog solution center? Like did you old folks 
hang out near your telegraph listening to everybodies conversations? Does it 
boil down to some old chinese guy sending out coded messages or what? 
    Was at a customers joint the other day, an issue with ms rdp, end of the 
day, it boiled down to remote connectivity, had to disable a tertiary networks 
gpo printer and disable bitmap caching. I got this from google. Seperate 
threads and a brain connection that this was the second remote joint via vpn, 
and the two remote joints couldnt communicate.
    Customer noted the google use, i told him its cause we dont have manuals 
now.
    Is the truth that some chinese guy just answers all our google queries now 
and we are just corporate puppets?

    Is there only one really old rice eating fellow that actually knows the 
answers? What if he dies?
    Are we fucked if the chinaman dies?

class 5 switch trying to figure out why caller ID was failing on a feature

          Is it at an inaudible frequency?  If so, then it wouldn't make it 
through 2600hz bandpass filters would it?  Or maybe it's audible, but so short 
you don't notice it? I'm fuzzy on this.

          I probably shouldn't ask.  I don't need to know that much about POTS 
anymore.

            More info than anyone probably wants to know. I found this about 
the original question: 
            Caller-ID Signaling
            According to Telcordia specifications, CND signaling starts as 
early as 300 mS after the first ring burst and ends at least 475 mS before the 
second ring burst

              That's a fun fact to have.
