I've had a few interesting interaction with phone companies this week and thought I'd share them with you: Nashville, TN - Tried to make a AT&T calling card call from a payphone in the airport. 10288 did not work, so I tried 00. That got me a local operator who instructed me to dial 00 to access AT&T. I explained that I *did* dial 00 and got her, not AT&T, so she tranferred me. The AT&T operator could not understand why I would be trying to place a calling card call through her, so I explained that I was at the airport and calling from a COCOT that would not accept 10288. She agreed to place the call but said she was surprised to hear of the problem because "they aren't supposed to block access anymore". Interesting. Jessup, MD - We're using ITT for LD in our office and have done so for about a month. Friday afternoon we received a call from ITT informing us that they recently bought/were bought by (?) a company with a 100% fiber optic network in place and that our service would be switched to that service in about a week. Does anyone know anything about this "merger"? Columbia, MD - I recently moved into a new apartment complex and found that only two pair had been run to the apartments (surprising in that this place was built in 1989!). Of course, the Network Interface is located in the next building in a utility closet, so I can't get C&P to run the extra pair for my third line. Does anyone know of a way to get three lines worth of service up to the apartment on two lines worth of wiring?
