312-803 is a MFS prefix.

Our new phone service is coming in on T-1s, and is not provided by Ameritech.

I presume WWAs isn't either, which accounts for the number.

Don't be Ameritech-centric.  We're moving away from them where possible and
rational due to their *continuing* inability to provide quality service and 
meet their commitments to us and our customers, with the last example of
this being less than two weeks ago.

Promises were made a few months ago which we presumed would fix these
problems.  But the issues have persisted, including missed installation
commitments that have impacted customer circuits.

Note that our new facility will also have dial-in service, which will be
loop-based -- for those on the near-south side, this will provide a closer
dial-in and relieve some pressure on the current Lakeview facility.

The DS-3 backbone we are also constructing is due to have its first leg up 
and operating this weekend.  Right now it is in test, and from all indications
it will come online as scheduled.
