Dirk, As far As I know there was no Avaya surplus in MN. In fact after the surplus MN had openings. I came from out of state to work at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. We have 20 Avaya techs here. There seems to be quite a bit of work (and Techs) up in the Twin Cities area. We just put in an 8710 for Deluxe Check (St PAul) and we had 14 Avaya techs on the job.

Avaya has started a staging area in Florida and all their IP products will be loaded with software, firmware, translations and "burned in" before they are shipped to the customers.

Avaya is actually flying thier techs in to Florida for this process, strange as they could just hire local data guys for 1/2 the price (if not less).

As far as BP's go, everyone knows 1/2 of them are a joke. A guy I work with who was a "good" tech but no star took a job with a BP and he's the go to guy, makes me wonder.
