Brokeda, you're incoherant.

yeh but he's alot of fun to read in the morning....

Squeakygeek INSTALLER???

next thing ya know he will want permission to the installers forum.

Look again He allready Does, What happened to the 20 post and proven experience or Installer referral.

Squeaky don't let them frazzel you. A norstar is really not too difficult to install with a basic setup. I did it and didn't know anything about it. It's the terminology that throws ya-coming from the IT side. Some people just get sensitive about others in the business taking money out of their pockets-and rightfully so, but I don't think thats the case here. Just post your questions and someone will help ya and ignore the garbage replies.

Thanks

I got the system today. It has version 7.0 of the software. I am just awaiting the arrival of the 25pr cables, and the surge protection, which should arrive by monday, when I return from a weekend trip.

just to give you the heads up on ANY new software release, sometimes little bugs crop up out in the field that are not found when they are in beta testing.....Drink alot over the weekend....

Are you guys done beating this guy up yet? He already admitted that he didn't know what he was doing, that's why he came to us. I gave him a gentle warning, but seriously....

He has been given a task that he is willing to try. He has also advised the "powers-that-be" that he isn't a professional. Apparently, they have accepted that, though isn't that always the case until something goes wrong?

At least he was smart enough to research the situation and contact us, <the support people> for advice.

I wish he worked for me. I need people with his initiative.

Like it or not, IT guys think that they can do our jobs, and there's a good chance that they may succeed in many areas.

Can they fish walls? NO
Can they troubleshoot T/R? NO
Do they understand telcos? NO
Do they know the color of pair 5? NO

Still, we have to figure out an amicable way to work with them since it's apparent that IP is here to stay.

You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. A bit of extra help in the VoIP and Computers/Hardware, etc. categories might come in useful for our forum. I have only been around for a few months and certainly have to earn my clout here, but I see this forum as being pretty valuable to all.

Remember, these people aren't here to intentionally steal from us. Most of them have a gun to their head. I don't like it either, but it's clearly becoming the way of the times.

How come there's always enough time to go back and fix it a second time?
