On the lightning strike thread: we took a lot of area lightning but no direct strikes over the last few weeks, but particularly Sunday night 4 weeks ago. Since then we have had persistent customer complaints about not getting thru on our lines. The problem is definitely intermittent and may be getting less common now, after several Verizon visits, though the techs claim no faults have been found in the Vz "network". The most common customer description is that after a few rings they hear a rapid busy. Vz is perplexed by this.

Is there any way a Comdial (digitech/impact, older) system can cause a Vz rapid busy? Or is this just a smokescreen for a network issue?

Thanks!
