I had a Qwest guy in here earlier today and he had trouble getting in touch with Qwest's tech support due to the large volume of calls. Looks like something big got broke, just like last Tuesday when a huge chunk of Eden Prairie lost service for about 3 hours. -----Original Message----- From: Churchill, Dan (MN65) [mailto:churchill_dan at htc.honeywell.com] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 2:04 PM To: 'tclug-list at mn-linux.org' Subject: RE: [TCLUG] McLeod Contact? Sounds like McLeod is having significant trouble. Visi.com has sent out a notice that is significant number of their dial-in and ISDN customers are being affected by McLeod services being down as well. Good luck getting hold of them - the Visi e-mail said they had called them and have yet to get a response. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of duncan > Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 1:24 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] McLeod Contact? > > > talked to a guy i know who engineers "on-hold" boxes (voices you hear > when on hold...) and he said that a fast busy is a 'trunk' busy, that > you arent even making it all the way to the other ends phone. > > sounding informed can be key. > > duncan > > > > > > FWIW, the fast busy tone is known as a 'reorder tone' in > telecom terms.
