Speaking of after hours contact numbers...do folks as a matter of practice keep these on file, or do people still rely on the 'business phone' method of contacting people?
For customers, we require contact info; once we've been place a little longer I'll probably send out periodic reminders (one per six months or so, most likely) asking people to check and make sure we've still got current information. Contact information is also required for peers, but for some reason that stuff becomes invalid more often, especially at the "big" backbones. For those, we keep track of what worked last time we needed it, and hope it still works later.
(This seems to be on topic; if I knew where to find a good cheap (free?) Cisco tutorial, I might even be able to tell you how to configure your router for it }:P .)
