To the subscribers: the Usenet gateway we use to post the Telecom Digest to comp.dcom.telecom is still down, and we're working on the problem.
In the meantime, I've decided to release pending posts to the email subscribers. As soon as the Usenet gateway is repaired, all posts and replies will go out to comp.dcom.telecom.
My thanks to Robert Bonomi and John Levine for their continued help.
