Kathy Stichter Eschelon Telecom Inc CC : Matt Rossi This memo is a response to the CLEC Change Request CR 5608171 regarding discrepancies between the information available to Qwest repair personnel and that viewed by a CLEC in IMA. The CR was opened by Eschelon. In fact-finding sessions with Eschelon, it was determined that the problem is confined to calls to the AMSC at 1-800-223-7811, Option 1. The AMSC has reviewed the data visible to their repair personnel, who are looking at an RCE GUI which interfaces with LMOS (the Classic US West repair system). The information on the RCE GUI has been compared to the IMA information viewed by a CLEC calling the center and found to be the same, although the two systems are cosmetically different. Eschelon has no current examples of problems encountered when their employees called the AMSC and the AMSC could not see the same information as Eschelon was seeing. Eschelon has agreed to refer any such problems which occur in the next month to me so that I can research them with the AMSC and at the end of September to consider closing this CR if the problems are no longer occurring or have been resolved to their satisfaction.
