Is this a big problem? I have a few of my Atlanta users (ok ok, I only 
have a few) say that they get disconnected or a vary slow connect. I am 
using tons of the same modems in Arlington, VA and Baltimore, MD with no 
problems at all. Also why do they cost so much. I am paying $85 for each 
line, $23 of that is just so they can be in a hunt group. I am going to 
fly down to our Atlanta POP and see if Bell South can fix the problem 
because I know it is not our modems. I may go to MFS they say they will 
give us POTs over T1 for a lot less. 

Just wanted to know if this is a shared problem, because I have users that 
on and off get slow connects or dropped lines in Atlanta, they none of my 
users get in our other POP's.
