This past month, I have conducted one of my infamous experiments. All
of my night UUCP traffic has used Sprint via 10333. The bill has
finally arrived and I have had a chance to compare it with the SMDR
data covering the period.
The bill, which includes several hundred calls, is precisely correct.
No unanswered calls were billed, no answered calls were omitted, and
each call was correctly timed. All calls within the billing period
were accounted for.
This would indicate that the infamous Sprint billing problems are a
thing of the past. Judging from the lack of mention of this problem
lately on the Digest this is not surprising.
One other thing: all of the calls were with Telebit Trailblazers.
There were no problems, either with handshake or throughput (about the
same as before with AT&T).
Now, if the rates are actually lower than AT&T, can someone think of a
reason not to use Sprint in this application?
