Just about to report a (telephony) fault on the line that hosts OOF.

This will, undoubtedly, lead to disruption of the ADSL that runs over it.  My gut reaction is that its an exchange linecard fault (I initially thought it was a linecard fault here), so hopefully disruption will be minimal.

Ok TB. Thanx for letting us know

Shocked is happening, or shocked you understood it?

I reckon Mrs TheBoy has worn the line out, yakking on the blower in my absence

That it's happening   ..... I understood the first line of TB's post  , I didn't need to read the 2nd line  :-/ ... although I did get the gist of it.       (Cheeky young whipper snapper)

1st outage will be 12:30 while I report to BT

Thanks for letting us know all that TB, but I to don't really know what the technicalities are that you are describing.

I just take it we could have trouble ahead!!

To clarify:

As you know, when OOF was set up, we used a paid for hosting company. WHo were rubbish.  I dared suggest that the service was unacceptable, which resulted in them pulling the plug on us. Tossers.

Since then, it has run from here on a VM, and served over a broadband ADSL connection.

We are having trouble with incoming calls, which needs to be reported to BT. Those who have dealt with BT before know you have to disconnect everything, which includes the ADSL router, thus the outage.

If there is a line fault, there will be further outages whilst BT fix it.

Thanks greatly TB!!   That now IS very clear!

Right, as suspected, they say fault at exchange (as I said in first post, I suspected linecard).

Forum back up now

[TheBoy]
