We've had similar problems using MCI... seems that like magic, a 'No problem
found' will restore full functioning!

If I were cynical, I'd say that someone's been playing with the patchbay
computer again.  Or, they lower the quality of the line to see just how much
they can skim and not have any complaints.   But I'm not cynical, so I won't
say such things.

Uh, do MCI and Sprint still buy their connections from AT&T?
