Interesting to note that even though the govt is all for getting everyone on the "Information Superhigway", no mention is made of any government sponsored plan to prevent the service from going dark. If this were a provider of POTS, and it was dialtone being turned off, would there would be some scrambling by the govt to prevent it? So to make this somewhat on-topic, what will the advance of VOIP do to SLA requirements? Would this be allowed to happen if customers were using an IP provider for access into their VOIP gateway? IP phone at home, VOIP gateway and "Normal" trunks at the exchange point kind of thing. James H. Smith II NNCDS NNCSE Systems Engineer The Presidio Corporation
