- Recently pounding off international numbers has produced dramatic
- results. Our Definity PBX is connected to ATT by a PRI line.
- Dialling a UK number and ending with the # will result in a call setup
- so rapid that the number is ringing as your finger comes off the key.
- On the other hand, making a local Pac Bell call (our connection to Pac
- Bell is by a T1 with robbed bit signalling) takes two or three seconds
- to connect. I understand that they have been bringing ISUP signalling
- up on selected trunks to the UK, and this may be responsible for the
- recent speedup in connections.
