Just last night, on a call from Maryland (Baltimore area) to Newport
Rhode Island, I was disconnected twice by US Sprint, and once by MCI.
I finally decided to complete the call through AT&T and had no
problems.  In all three cases, the call weas about 10-15 minutes long
when interrupted.  US Sprint disconnected completely, with no warning.
MCI suddenly gave me a dead phone, but my friend in Rhode Island could
hear me perfectly.

Strange happenings ... maybe the full moon has something to do with
it?
