The University of Houston has just installed a new ROLM CBX for several departments on its main campus. Because of the critical nature of the research being done in these departments it is imparitive that they receive all calls to them. Unfortunately we have experienced blockage of the new prefix activated for their new switch. If you are the manager of your University's or Company's PBX or know the person who is, would you please check to see if in the 713 area code (Houston Texas), your switch is allowing the 743 prefix to be completed. Your assistance in this emergency situation would be greatly appreciated by the University of Houston and the Texas Center for Superconductivity. Joe Miller Assistant Director Telecommunications JBMiller@UH.EDU [Moderator's Note: Well, you have reached an audience here that can help you, if anyone can. I am reminded of a large firm in downtown Chicago which uses my services from time to time. They have a large Rolm PBX, but no one around who knows how to program it. I told them it was refusing to accept calls to 708-518 (the exchange where my voicemail is located.) They ignored my several requests to fix it, so I changed my phone number in their records to 708-518-6335, and told them when you get it fixed, you'll be able to call me again. They just about went crazy at that ... but a month later, it was working. PAT]
