 FYI, at about the time of the break, I was engaged in a Web-based

 phone bridge in San Jose, CA.  The phone conversation persisted, but
 Maui's Internet connection dropped.
I do believe that if STP/SS7(?) trunks are dropped, calls in progress are
not interrupted.  Just my observation from when we did a number change and
all that SS7 magic made our numbers move to a new provider.  The cut was
made, but all existing calls on our old dial equipment chugged merrily
along...

Charles,

You are absolutely correct on that score:

Wiki wiki dig dig. The connection stayed up but it was one of the last calls connected for the next 5 hours. Bob
