Voice, data, everything, not even 911! Not sure how a CO failure brings down leased line data.... What WILL bring down the whole house..: Fiber cut -- as well as other wholescale transmission FUBAR's. Power -- remember the NYC ATT crash? It took hours to bring the DACS back up... Don't overlook lightning strikes on the incoming power feed. Enviromental -- if the HVAC croaks, if a waterline floods from the cable vault on up, or there's an earthquake, or a Hinsdale-style fire. But such will never happen, so we can all rest easy....right? -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
