Re: Telephones Out US West Coast?

[Kevin <Spiritbranson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My Question is: If you were operating a CS And you did have a Backup
Scenario. For Instance Forwarding all your calls to another CS. How would
you forward those calls if The entire network in the area was down? If the
switching equipment is inoperative at the CO, How would they forward your
calls????
