I was thinking because you don't exactly plug a T1 into the back of a phone. It has the capability of being able to handle either 23 or 24 calls at once, most of the time it connects to a telephone system then the system splits everything up from there. You could also use half for data and half for voice to save some $$$.

How many phones do you have?

Joe, I think engineering lost the order for that 2nd T1 line. Or, maybe the PIE got sent to the wrong location.
Anyway, hello to a telephone guy at (Verizon), from a telephone guy at SNET.
Hope your contract works out alright.
Paul, I'm sorry you didn't get what you expected (2nd T1).

Okay I do understand that. We do have a phone system and we are supposed to have 2 T1s coming into the building. One is for data and the other is for voice. Bellsouth finally got here at 4pm only to inform us that they would start on it but it was too late for it to be finished by the end of the day. Hopefully we'll be up soon.

Hey there Glenn, I'm in Boston, MA. Right now I work for Broadview Networks, I deal with SNet and Verizon all day man. I was a feild tech for 4.5 years, dis-liked my boss, put up with him for over a year, left and he got canned 2 weeks later Now I have to wait until Jan 1st to get back into the feild.

Those Verizon guys are lazy bums but I'll take a job there any day.

Paul, 1 T1 for voice? You guys handle some serious calls eh? Look at your telephone switch and tell me what name is on the front of it, maybe I can lend some telephone advice if you've got the right system and have problems in the future.

Joe, We have one T1 that is going to be a dedicated internet for our web servers. The 2nd T1 is integrated voice & data. We'll use the data part of that one for in-house internet stuff once they finish it up. In the mean time, we are using the dedicated internet T1 to have on-line access for our employees. Gee, a company that actually MAKES thier employees surf the internet

T1's are quite pricey, it must stink when you need to make a specific amount each month just to cover your telecom/data overhead.

Great to meet you, Joe! I'm a C.O. guy for many years.

Angie, My employer(Gigantic Phone Co.) has installed DSL to every office including mine. They do their best to discourage it's use, though. Go figure....
