New Seattle 56k / ISDN Access Number

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     The new Seattle 56k / ISDN Access Number is definitely broken.  Problems
reported by our customers were reproducible and the vendor is working on them. 

     Please feel free to use the old number, (206) 812-1399 while the new one
is being fixed.  We will make another announcement when we think it is working
properly. 

     I wanted to update something I said about this earlier.  It was my
understanding that 812-1399 was going to be disconnected because of problems
with ELI, but that has been clarified and that is not the case for the
"forseeable future", of coarse, when dealing with large corporations,
"forseeable future" often means "this quarter", but that is what I am told. 

     It is still necessary to debug the new line and then get as many people
switched over as possible because of limited capacity and the inability to get
additional capacity fast enough on the old line. 

     Now, I've run across something strange (and Steve and Craig, this is why
I CC'd you folks).  206-299 would appear not to be in the Seattle rate center,
or if it is then there are translations problems in the Vashion switch as the
number appears to be long distance from Vashon.

     Can someone tell me definitively what rate center 206-299-0155 is in?  And
for that matter what CLEC (assuming it is a CLEC)?  StarNet/MegaPOP appears to
be clueless about the former and tight lipped about the latter even though
presumably anybody who is willing to pay for the info could get the list of
assigned NPA-NNX's from Bellcore/Packetcore.
