I have a community that is within our local calling scope that has always required the ISDN connections be set for 56K on the client equipment. If we set the client for 64K it would connect but no data would pass on the line (both ends of the connection think there is a valid connection, this really confuses the telco). In the last month or so I have begun having problems where the circuits will not pass data for various length periods of time, then will begin working. The routers (multiple sites) do not drop and redial the calls, they are online the whole time (I have watched both the leds and the system monitors at our end and the customer end). The telco is convinced that if there is really a connection problem the ISDN connection would immediately drop, but that is not my experience in this case.
I'm in agreement with Jeff Binkley here... Definitely sounds like an inter-office trunk problem (particularly since they would only run at 56kbps initially). Good luck getting the telco to find it. They will swear up and down that it can't be their trunks because, "we're the telephone company." (not in so many words, but that's the attitude). If you can get an ISDN test set to make the call with...that should show up the problems without too much trouble at all. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
