Ugh. Reminds me of doing some testing of a 3201 (poll-select) communications system with (as it turned out) my ex-employer. There would occasionally be system failures, and one of them was explained away (during the Winter) as 'Snow on the lines'. I was gobsmacked. This was the last 90's. I had nothing.
Fortunately, there was a tech at ex-employer that I'd played hockey with, and he was totally on the ball. When I had him on the phone with a problem, I got it solved right away. So at least there were *some* competent people there. That was a weird period of employment -- leading a major communications project with a company that had .. laid me off as being 'below standard'. Huh.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
