A friend of mine who makes voice mail & auto attendant systems for a living told me the standard procedure for getting DID lines installed: o Telco person arrives and says he can't find your line and isn't really sure what DID is, anyway. o A few days later, telco person arrives and says you aren't providing battery. o A few days later, telco person arrives and says you aren't providing wink. o A few days later, telco person says everything is working, but your equipment doesn't see any DID digits. o Telco person says, we are sending digits. You say: aren't. He says: are. o Finally, after a few weeks and possible iterations of all this, they get everything right! Currently, I'm on step three above. I'll have 100 incoming fax numbers here at work if the telco and my operating system ever get it together! Now, that's a big opportunity for incoming junk fax, eh? :) ; Steve Elias, eli@spdcc.com. !!
