Message-ID: Date: 20 Nov 89 03:28:27 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Organization: very little Lines: 20 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 523, message 6 of 10 David Bernholdt had some questions about the 708/312 split, and a delay in accessing 708. I found that from the 206/881 exchange (Redmond, WA) I was able to access 708 the day BEFORE the split! This really surprised me, as sometimes in the past there was a delay before the local toll tandem switch had been programmed with all of the allowable NNX codes after a split. If David was getting blocking, my guess it was at the local tandem switch which handles toll calls from his CO. For some reason they do this in GTE which serves my office, but I have never encountered this from US West, where I live. Of course, I make hundreds of times as many toll calls from work. But I always thought that call attempts to illegal NNXs were blocked at the end office in the NPA being called. Tad Cook tad@ssc.UUCP
