I tried to place a call to a friend on Connecticut. It wouldn't connect. I'd get a dead line (no ring, no error, no nothing) for a minute and then my own dialtone again. Calling other long distance destinations had no problem. Bell Atlantic insisted that they had no problem (and since the call went through when I use the 1010-ATT prefix, they were probably right). When I called MCI, the operator tried to place the call and it went through fine, so they insisted that it couldn't possibly be their problem, but she was kind enough to open a trouble ticket anyway. I have no idea what actually happened (probably a defective line card in a switch somewhere) but it was working the next day. -- David
