The folks at our main facility just installed a new telephone switch, and made two changes which are not user-transparent. The two changes involve the method used to reach our remote switch, and the method used to dial an international call. If you haven't guessed yet, the old international prefix corresponds to the new method of ringing my extension from the main facility. This would be amusing if it weren't for all the auto-dial facsimile machines trying to phone home to Japan with the old dialing codes. They're not much fun to talk to, and they don't seem to report the fact that the calls aren't getting through. The moral of this story: Get your Fax straight, before you make changes. -- Steve Valentine, NEC Information Systems 289 Great Rd., Acton, MA 01720 smv@necis.nec.com Robots don't use software!
