US-West-Need I say more?

I'm running PM-3s, OS b20, with advanced digital trunks. They are set at
ESF, B8ZS, and wink start.

I'm having a recurring problem.

At seemingly random intervals, although a pattern is developing for
evening busy time, a US West switch recording is what my subscribers get
when they dial my modem pool.

I've also seen busies when I've had 20% trunking available, fast busies,
and ringing with no answer.

Last night at 10:20, I dialed the number 25 times. 14 times I got the
recording, the rest I got a modem.

I've got a running open ticket with the telco but want to querry the list
and see if others maye seeing similar problems.

I've placed the problem on the telco, but is there a possibility that the
PM-3 might be the guilty party? At the rate that US West moves, I'd
rather it be the portmaster!
