Yep standard AT&T. We somehow got the phone number of a guy in a 
building near the MI IN line where all our IN locations went through. 
Great guy. You'd give him circuit number he'd put you on 'desk hold' 
wander over, you'd hear a few things moving, maybe a static sound or 
two. Then he'd come back with "I put a little current on the line to dry 
it up. It's good now" or some other update, but they always worked. No 
tickets no delays. Worked for a few years then one day: "The number you 
have called has been disconnected." Rats.
