Re: telco service?

Heh. I don't think it's off topic at all, after all were just
disclosing information.

KF, your absolutely right. The lack of regulation and the lack of
attention people give to it is atrocious. You would think in a post
9/11 America that they would at least have some sort of security
board. Same goes for the utility companies.

Speaking of LENS. If anyone is interested in a copy of the LERG (local
exchange routing guide) send me an e-mail. Basically a bunch of excel
spreadsheets mapping out switches across the US. Find out who manages
it, what equipment they are running. What NPA/NXX's they control, etc.
It's a nice little thing to have around sometimes. Shoot me a private
e-mail if you'd like a copy. Forewarning, the file is roughly 45MB so
plan to have an FTP ready for me to upload it to.
