Thanks for the info. We are experiencing issues with quality and I'm trying
to smooth them out. Is there a way to determine the impact that is being
caused by the local traffic? Monitoring tools that will show this in report
form or realtime? Every day or so we get reports that there is a lot of
problems for short bursts of time. I would like to be able to show that the
local traffic is affecting this.

Thanks,
Geoff
