(PM) WARNING: US-West CT1s

As a fellow portmaster admin I thought I offer the following
warning to other portmaster admins.

I'm in US-West land, my switch is a DMS-100, I was running
CT1s to my portmasters (much less expensive than PRIs).

I received an excessive amount of "Port Error - Unknown State"
along with the spontaneous dropped call. At the rate of about
1 every 5 minutes. We tried everything with Lucent, they
tried everything (short of sending someone out). But nothing
could fix it.

We recently switched to all PRIs, not one "Port Error - Unknown State"
yet (been running for a week).

My lesson learned? If you're in US-West land on a DMS-100 switch,
don't order CT1s for your Lucent Portmasters. :)

-Mike
