(PM) DNIS digits again

Awhile ago I reported that when the local 5ESS was upgraded from
generic 9 to generic 10, we stopped seeing the four digits Bell
Atlantic was sending us. The fix was to have them not mask any digits
and send us all seven digits. Then the Called-Station-Id reappeared
in our radius log, showing all seven.

A few days ago the same thing happened on another PRI from another
5ESS - same generic upgrade, same loss of four digits, same fix by
sending seven digits.

I told the Bell Atlantic people I'd report this to "Lucent", and
enough Lucent people read this list so I figure this counts. If
anyone at Lucent cares, I have info like ticket number and circuit id.
If nobody does, well, I don't much care either - I'd rather get seven
digits anyway.

PM3/3.8b15, switch type att-5ess. This time the box has one PRI and
one data T1, last time the box had two PRIs.

Incidently, being able to say I'm using Lucent equipment is a real
advantage when trouble rolls around. I even heard one BA tech refer
to it as "AT&T equipment" :)
