How true.
I'm about three blocks from the LO, and my line is direct to the LO. However, 
I have a "direct line" to a server located about 8 miles west of me, as the 
crow flies. A year ago or so I had some connecting problems to that server 
which could be eliminated by using a different trunk line, and when Bell 
Atlantic was searching for the trouble I was in direct contact with the techs 
who were trying to find it. That "direct line" trouble was found in a switch 
about 35 miles west of here in Morristown.
