Ron,

Which Phone Co. did you work for and what did you do? I have spent most of my working life selling to the Phone Co's. At first I sold Transmission Test equipment and then moved to the DC Power Business. The Phone Companies always "had" money to burn with qualified vendors and provided me with a good income for over 20 years. All of the people I delt with were first class and dedicated. They were all from the old guard. Most of the new ones can't find their ass in the dark with both hands and don't have the experience.
