No longer ruled by the iron fist of "Ma", the BOC's will do pretty much what they please. This is evidenced by the fact that the source of my "{" data noise problem was found - a "cheaper" version of a D4 channel group at the back end of a T1 multiplexor; the signal is not synchronized with the other end and digital slip occurs every 30 seconds. And the "new" BOC says to me: "You can talk on it? Good. That's where our responsibility ends." In a few years network service provided by the local BOC's is going to be so bad that it will hardly be worth the money. What about alternates? Satellite? Cellular radio? Cable? Whatever it is, the data devices have got to incorporate error detection/correction or they will not be any good. Randy King AT&T/CP-MG ihnp4!mgweed!rjk
