Does anyone know the "secret" numbers that are buried in AT&T 5ESS
and/or Northern Telecom DMS systems to get your phone to ring?  I am
familiar with 114 and 12233 to get your number read back to you.  119
however used to give you a reorder tone and then when you hung-up
would ring your phone.  119 no longer works.  Are these numbers part
of the software release of the switch or does each operating company
pick their own diagnostic numbers?

If anyone else has any useful numbers, please post or mail.  They sure
are nice when sorting and troubleshooting trunks.

is that every CO does its own thing. Typically the codes vary from one
CO to another. There is no universal standard.  PT]
