I had that at my first job. I learned early to hate the telephone company. And "concentrator" office in Garland, TX. I would call them about no connectivity to TCIC (Texas Crime Information Center, or something like that). I was told "nobody else is experiencing problems!". I would then call another shop at the other end of town. They would be down too.
Had one remote police office with 3767s and a 3275(?). Every time it rained, they'd be down. Rain would stop and dry out, they'd come back up. Telephone company said I was lying. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
