They've been running out of dialtone on the switch, since we have so many lines (much more than they ever expected in a rural area). Now, they claim that they only promise that we will receive 9.6Kbps per line! We've been told this by several persons. We are getting 28.8Kbps. This problem has taken a lot of my time all week. > - Some misconfigurations will merely cause lots of errors and > poor performance rather than abject failure.

More expensive per line, but at least they work better. ILEC equipment is in a terrible state. [email protected] Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
