After getting 3 lines installed for this site we started to experience periods when we could not raise dialtone for hours at a time. We called C&P repair service at least 10 times and they checked out the local lines and at the C.O. with nothing amiss. When the lines die,they are open or "busy" .. Is there anything I can do to solve the problem from my end,or suggest to the local repair office? I have heard that they are getting ESS #5 next year so I suppose my problems will be resolved then,but this is really damaging my uucp traffic. BTW, we are not the only ones experiencing this problem in the area,so it pretty much eliminates on-site trouble. Thanks for any positive suggestions..Meanwhile I am biding my time.
