Unfortunately, that usually doesn't happen until after much finger pointing and time is lost. This goes on until the victim (excuse me, the customer) gets mad and demands a resolution or everybody will be kicked out. When a joint vendor meet is finally arranged the problem suddenly disappears and no one did anything, but the problem is permanently fixed. Until next time.

I have spent most of the last forty years on the industry side of this business, now I work for one customer. I know how the industry works so my tolerance for finger pointing is very low. I have installed hundreds (thousands?) of T1s in my time and I know how they are supposed to work. If it doesn't work I can determine the source of the problem with a pretty fair amount of accuracy. I know enough that the vendor techs can't dazzle me with b*llsh*t. I don't call them until I know positively that it is not my issue.

End of rant
