Dealing with telephone system issues was easy until Judge Greene stuck his

Yep standard AT&T. We somehow got the phone number of a guy in a
building near the MI IN line where all our IN locations went through.
Great guy. You'd give him circuit number he'd put you on 'desk hold'
wander over, you'd hear a few things moving, maybe a static sound or
two. Then he'd come back with "I put a little current on the line to dry
it up. It's good now" or some other update, but they always worked. No
tickets no delays. Worked for a few years then one day: "The number you
have called has been disconnected." Rats.

Years ago, before the internet was what it is today, we had a leased line

that leased line (speed 9600!) would go down, which was seldom, I would
call GTE and report it. Later, I would get a phone call that they

find anything wrong. But, lo and behold, after that it would work again.
Every. Single. Time. Not exaggerating.
