FYI, at about the time of the break, I was engaged in a Web-based meeting that included the Maui Supercomputer Center. We were using a phone bridge in San Jose, CA. The phone conversation persisted, but Maui's Internet connection dropped.

I do believe that if STP/SS7(?) trunks are dropped, calls in progress are not interrupted. Just my observation from when we did a number change and all that SS7 magic made our numbers move to a new provider. The cut was made, but all existing calls on our old dial equipment chugged merrily along... Charles
