You may not remember me, but I used to frequent one of your BBSes. I got interested in this telecom stuff mostly due to an insatiable curiosity. My Uncle works for IBT, and my new boss at work used to run the phone systems at NU (do you know Phil Atwood?). Anyway, I think they do automatic line testing but he said it's only done on unused lines. At least I'm pretty sure; it was a while back. Kevin A.
