Hello Telecom Users: Last night, I went to Ely Center at Gallaudet University. There are the two pay phone booths on the wall. I tried to call to 1-800-855-1155 and put handle on TDD. I get "MAY I HELP YOU Q GA" message. I collect from 202 area code to call to 412 area code. A girl tried to call to the same phone number on other pay phone booth while I get complete dailing to 412 area code. Then, both TDD conflcted and put garbled messages on my tdd and her tdd the same time! What happened or line problems? I will show you that time suquence for both phones: Pay Phone #1 Pay Phone #2 ------------ ------------ I dialed to 1-800-855-1155 - null - "OPR NBR MAY I HELP YOU Q GA" - null - I collected from 202-544-8979 - null - call to 412-xxx-xxxx. "THANK YOU PLS HOLD" She dailed to 1-800-855-1155 (Completed dailing) (Completed connect to OPR) "XEBREHJD&SWNXSBSSGH" "SVVVSFGEUUHJSGBVBVBSTY" (Hung up, I tried to call (Hung up, She tried dial again.) again.) -- It results the same above! -- (Hung up, wait...) (Hung up, She tried dial again.) (I dialed again) "OPR NBR MAY I HELP YOU Q GA" (No ringing or no busy signal!) I believe that both crashed lines! What happened???? -- Tim Stark +=============================================================================+ | Timothy Stark | BitNet: 11TSTARK@GALLUA.BITNET | | Gallaudet University | Internet: 11TSTARK%GALLUA.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | | P.O.
