You are a lucky, lucky person :) I'm trying to get NYNEX to fix
an ISDN line here - the 2nd B channel on one of our ISDN over
Centrex lines hasn't worked since they "fixed" it a couple of weeks
back (it dropped completely then), Turns out the Digital Services
group, which handles ISDN gets overridden by the Centrex group since
this is on a Centrex line. The Centrex group apparently can't even
spell ISDN.

ObPM: I really wish just a little command history was built into
ComOS, like the up arrow giving you the previous command. Hell, even
the Compatible Systems cheapo routers handle that!
