4841.0. "DTN Access to Vacated/Closed Facilities" by WBC::DOERING (Wash BM Center 339-5213) Tue Sep 10 1996 19:38

    
    
    Grettings:
    
    	I tried to call a SalesRep today via her DTN (335-xxxx). A guy
    answered the phone and responded with "MacroSoft". I thought I had
    fat-fingered the phone number. So I waited alittle and dialed the
    same DTN again. Same guy answered the phone. Found out his number
    is 201-631-xxxx. I later got ahold of the Sales Rep at her home
    office number, and found out that her ex phone number (before
    the Digital building was closed), was the same as this guy at
    MacroSoft.
    
    	Question, even tho the Digital building was closed/vacated,
    does this sound like the DTN access is still there and available
    for MacroSoft ??
    
    Thanks,
    Randy

	No. In many cases, DTN access is simply software in the phone network. That's the case here. There were no DTN wires into Parsippany. Dialing DTN 335-xxxx simply translated to a long distance call to 201 631-xxxx (restricted to that range of 631 numbers that we actually had). The office was closed, but the software maintained in our MCI private network and our PBXs has not removed the translation for DTN 335. /john

	The NJO site is essentially closed (only 4 lines remain active). However, the telephone numbers associated with NJO were not removed from the software database (as John stated in .1). This is now being corrected. Chuck.

	Randy, Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. While the Parsippany site downsized significantly, it did not close completely (there are about 4 lines still active). All the appropriate orders were submitted to the various suppliers, but unfortunately, not all were completed. We are working with MCI this morning to have the virtual network routing database updated to reflect the correct information. Again, thank you for taking the time to let us know this problem existed in the network. Kind regards, Roberta Hamilton DTN Service Manager
