Thanks Randy, I was fully aware of the GR-63 section called NEBS 2000 written in 1995, but for 2-3 years Telcordia has said we should blow it off and all the labs have been told to say it is not applicable in NEBS reports.
I thought someone might be working on an entire "industry standard" called NEBS 2000 or something to that affect.
