"LSOG" is "Local Service Ordering Guide". Under the Telecommunications Competition Act of 1996, "ILECs" (Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers, such as Ameritech) are required to let CLECs (Competing Local Exchange Carriers) resell their local phone service, and provide local connections between CLECs' networks and customer sites. LSOG is the specification for CLECs to place orders for local service with ILECs - defining the forms and fields composing an order. Such orders can be submitted on paper (by fax, for instance). ELMS is the specification for submitting such orders by EDI. Are you in the CLEC business? If so, please contact me - my company's product is "CLECware", and it does everything from taking the end user's order to sending the EDI. ======================================================================= To contact the list owner: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/edi-l%40listserv.ucop.edu/
