I've been having some strange problems with speed dialing since I moved from one part of Rochester to another (from south Henrietta to the northeast part of Rochester). About 25% of the time when I speed dial a number (particularly our terminal server's number), I just get reorder. I called repair service, and they said that there's not any problem with the switch (a 5E), and that if I want them to look into it, I'll have to pay if the problem turns out to be in my equipment. Is there any chance that a problem like this (that started when I moved, and occurs on two speed dialers) could be my problem? Should I go ahead and call it in? BTW, Rochester Tel decided to violate the standard (in the eastern part of the US) number for repair sevice: its 777-1611. Any advice on how best to approach this is appreciated.

Does the equipment lose track of you also? Conversely, can you slow down how fast the dialers work? Try tone dialing via your modem at different speeds. How fast can you go before the exchange loses some or all of the digits? PT]
