I went to the bank and the teller line is closed, you have to use the
drive through so instead of being able to do a social distanced transaction at the counter they want me to bring a virus infected document carrier into my car, handle it on my lap and add whatever viruses I might have. Then you send it back into the bank to infect the teller and then out to the next victim. I kept driving. These people have lost their minds. |

They were running on a leased 4 wire line running SDLC. (BiSync). I ran an NCR banking center in San Francisco maintenance. We had banks to the Canadian border and East to Salt Lake. All leased lines. Even some 110 baud. Was never their problem it seems. Rarely ours actually. We laughed one time as they admitted was their problem. A shack next to the railway had burned down melting the passing phone lines. Worse case, I had gone to Tommy’s Joint for lunch. A block from the center and watched a giant trenching wheel cut a 6” slot for new street lighting. Shortly after lunch, knew something was wrong. Was too quiet in the room, and no alarms going off. Was just no data coming in. The trencher had cut a 1500 pair line. Was Telco problem as the line was only down about 18”, way under what was required. We were down about 24 hours while they ran new lines and spliced the break. KRON TV was on the same line, but also a microwave link, so they were okay. |
