Grove" Organization: Pacific * Bell, San Ramon, CA Lines: 11 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 10, Issue 385, Message 9 of 10 Pac Bell has a dial up distribution network that they have called PacNet. But the fiber optic network for internal company use only, is call PBNet. The reason for the internal company use only is that we are not allowed to switch calls interlata, except for ourselves. If AT&T sent a message over PacNet to Pac Bell it would most likely travel on PBNet. Stephen Grove Comm. Tech. ESS Pac Bell Sonoma County, Calif
