   Those PacBell techs just can't help themselves when it comes to messing
with the interface boxes! Two years ago we had the exact same thing happen
to us... THREE TIMES! Once the interface box was vandalized because they
left the doors unlocked, and this was after I had called priority repair
two days earlier to report it before anything bad might happen (which
obviously fell on deaf ears.) After that fiasco we had our T1's delivered
over new fiber facilities, and all our analog lines transferred over to a
direct underground cable with no intermediate connections, which pretty
much solved the B-box problem. It wasn't a particularly enjoyable task,
however, since all those lines were in constant use.
