I am now attempting to get a combination inbound DID trunk with outbound dialling. I don't really care about passing the PBX extension number to the C.O. for billing purposes, just to make it a two-way trunk. Has anyone been successful if getting this type of trunk? On a related note, I am also trying to get E & M Type I terminations for Centrex off of a 1A ESS machine. The folks at Pac Bell recited Hymn # 12: "Well, we don't provide that because we haven't done that before"! I've heard this type of explanation many *many* times over the last 25 or so years and it is still not acceptable. If anyone can help with either of these two problems, or would care to share experiences with obtaining these types of circuits, I'd surely appreciate it. Al Cohan The Network Group P.O.
