<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've had slew of
problems with my Bell Canada Single Number Reach (SNR) dropping in the past
couple of months. Another outage Monday for several hours has me wondering
if there's a way to </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Make a call out
of my system via a PSTN back to my SNR line, say every 30 minutes (this I'm
sure is easy enough via the call file...however...)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Track the
outgoing call and match to an incoming call...if there's no incoming call...it
means my Bell circuit or VoIP provider or .... something is down...send me an
email that the service is down such that I can reroute my SNR to
cellular.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>The whole point of
this SNR was to give me mobility...though that came at a cost...Add the Voip off
Asterisk and it's a near perfect solution except when this
fails.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>From a network
perspective, I've got dual hosted solution now to resolve network outages and
recent tests have shown that works well, albeit the switch takes about 20
minutes to propagate the dns updates but otherwise flawless.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's
embarrassing and I'm losing credibility when clients are asking
if I'm still in business as the phone has dropped way to often in the past few
month. Interesting enough all outages to date have been Fridays or
Mondays.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=218571111-27062007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone else do
anything like this. Anyone else using the Bell SNR service?
Suggestions welcome.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
