Connection reliability

[Ben Duncan]

!!!MAKE SURE!!! the Telco has their equipment set to B8ZS / ESF. I 
have had the GOOD
fortune of Working with Hell SOuth ... errr bell south and the T1 card 
in the Tandem was set to
AMI, even thought we were suppose to be running B8ZS. Same problem. It 
would sync and stay
for a while, then drop. They swore that their equipment in the Tandem 
was set correctly.
Luckie for me, I was setting up an ISP for a ILEC and they MADE SB go 
out to the tandem
and check ... guess what ... WRONG settings on their end.

Moral of the story - Trust the lineman and MAKE the Telco go out and 
DOUBLE check the equipment.

Keep us informed of progress ...
