Re: Networking 5494/Ethernet/TokenRing

Back when I was a CE, years ago, I was told that the telco techs only got
bad marks if they found a real 'trouble' on a service call.  No trouble
found (NTF) didn't affect there ratings.  Hence, you place a trouble call,
they check out the line, NTF, and it starts working.

Moral, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. :)  Just smile, say thanks, and
call them first the next time.
