Troubleshooting the Public Switched Telephone Network – http://www.telos- systems.com/techtalk/PSTN/default.htm

As broadcast engineers, we are familiar with the pain involved with getting Telephone Companies to solve problems with their lines. At the very least, this can require persistence.

However, even worse is the situation where the lines in question are fine, and the problem is actually within the telephone network. This paper instructs you on how to determine if this is the case, and then goes on to advise you how to convince the telephone company that this is the case.
