081707 - ...and sent following message....
081708 -       ..
081709 -       On 000415 Saturday, Art Hernandez did a good job trying to
081710 -       install DSL on our phone line 415 781 3456 under work order
081711 -       C14121744, ref SDS 34 0001, issued on  000401. ref SDS 32 0001
081712 -       He encountered difficulties because Pac Bell Central Office
081713 -       assigned router #3 which supports static access service; and, it
081714 -       should have assigned router #9 or above for dynamic access
081715 -       service, per our order on 000401. ref SDS 32 4096
081716 -
081717 -       As a result the sync test failed.
081718 -
081719 -       There was also a problem getting the software installed,
081720 -       EnterNet 300. Art had to leave to help another customer before
081721 -       completing the work, so our system does not function.  I later
081722 -       downloaded and paid $30 for updated version 1.34 of EnterNet
081723 -       300, because the version Art brought was 1.28 and it does not
081724 -       support W2000.
081725 -       ..
081726 -       About 0300 Sunday morning, we were successful in getting
081727 -       "sync" where all three green lights are lit on the modem
081728 -       (router).  Was able to connect to the server, but the browser is
081729 -       not accessing anything. Called Pac Bell and talked to Jean in
081730 -       Customer Support.  She reported our "Profile" looks good, but
081731 -       noticed we were not accessing the server.  Jean planned to
081732 -       notify the "Escalation Manager" Sunday morning to complete
081733 -       configuration of our DSL service.  Nobody called yesterday.  We
081734 -       were unable to contact anyone at Pac Bell to help, probably
081735 -       because it was Sunday.
081736 -
081737 -       Please advise how to contact somone who can coordinate
081738 -       completion of installation of our DSL service.  I have left
081739 -       several calls for Art, who did the work on Saturday, 659  301
081740 -       5106, but he is likely pretty busy with other customers.  I have
081741 -       also been on hold for two hours at your phone number... 888 900
081742 -       9933.
081743 -
081744 -       Any help is appreciated.

0821 -
082101 - Talked to Lisa.
082102 -
082103 - Explained background work on 000415, ref SDS 34 0001, and that I have
082104 - called for Art, but he has not returned the call.
082105 -
082106 - Asked for someone to coordinate completion of DSL service.
082107 -
082108 - Lisa looked up our order.
082109 -
082110 -    She concludes from the phone company record that we need someone to
082111 -    come out and configure our system so we are registered.
082112 -
082113 - We considered the advantage of contacting Cervando for coordinating
082114 - Pac Bell resources in completing installation, including registration,
082115 - per Cervando's commitment on 000401.
082116 -
082117 - Lisa looked up the name of the person who wrote up our work order
082118 - number and saw that the phone number is...

082120 -
082121 -                            888 558 4375
082122 -
082123 -
082124 - ...and it is for a person with the first name initial C. Almazan,
082125 - which aligns with Cervando.
082126 - ..
082127 - Lisa tried to contact Cervando.
082128 -
082129 -    We got a voice message and are on hold.
082130 -
082131 -    The woman said she knows Cervando.  She was able to look up and
082132 -    found a direct number...

0825 -
082501 - Got a woman's voice mail indicating Cervando's phone number is
082502 - changed.
082503 -
082504 - Lisa tried John Patrick Welch's number...

082508 -
082509 -
082510 - Got through to a voice, who seemed to recognize John Welch's name, and
082511 - tried to put us through to a group.  Turned out that John's middle
082512 - name is Patrick, and so he goes by Patrick Welch, rather than John,
082513 - which explains why Cervando said his boss is Patrick, in the call on
082514 - 000401. ref SDS 32 0001
082515 -
082516 - After leaving this message, discussed planning with Lisa.
082517 - ..
082518 - We considered the possibility that we may never hear from
082519 - Patrick, and that we need to set some management machinery in motion
082520 - to ensure continued supervision toward completing installation of our
082521 - DSL service.
082522 -
082523 - Lisa feels her supervisor is good a this kind of supervision.  She
082524 - will ask her supervisor to call me on this.

0829 -
082901 - We reviewed the record on 000415 showing problems installing DSL under
082902 - Windows 2000, because Pac Bell's staff in Northern California are not
082903 - trained for this work. ref SDS 34 1350
082904 -
082905 - Also reviewed understandings on 000401 that Cervando would coordinate
082906 - solution to installation problems. ref SDS 32 4833
082907 - ..
082908 - Patrick said Cervando is in Texas training other people to do
082909 - this work, so Cervando cannot do the coordination.  Patrick said that
082910 - there are other people in his department who can provide coordination.
082911 -
082912 -     [...below, Cervando leaves for Texas tomorrow. ref SDS 0 6408

082916 - was placed. ref SDS 32 3519
082917 -
082918 - I explained having purchased and downloaded on 000416, the current
082919 - version 1.34 of EnterNet 300 which provides dial up service to Pac
082920 - Bell's DSL system. ref SDS 34 4899  This corrected the problem on
082921 - 000415 of Pac Bell providing version 1.28 which does not support
082922 - Windows 2000, per call to John. ref SDS 34 1824
082923 -
082924 - Further explained that we discovered the Kingston Technology network
082925 - card is configured automatically by Windows 2000, so we did not need
082926 - any of the drivers on the software provided by Pac Bell on 000415.

082944 -
082945 -
082946 - I explained the need for someone to take responsibility for completing
082947 - the work.  I am happy to call another number, but often the other
082948 - number is not correct, and we have to call back and try again.  We
082949 - need some assigned to do the follow up to ensure people with
082950 - appropriate expertise are working on our little project.
082951 - ..
082952 - Patrick said that he has to leave in a few minutes to go to
082953 - another state and train other people, so he cannot coordinate
082954 - completion of instalation of our system.

084509 - She asked me to hold while she tries to find a responsible person.
084510 -
084511 - After about 10 minutes, Sherrilynn came back on line and proposed that
084512 - I leave a message in Patrick's voice mail.  Even though he has left
084513 - the office to go to another state to do training, ref SDS 0 7482, she
084514 - was told that people will eventually answer Patrick's messages and
084515 - call us back.
084516 -

084518 - We reviewed the idea of contacting Patrick's supervisor to find out
084519 - who he might have contacted about assigning someone to complete
084520 - installation of our DSL service.  If that has occurred, we may be able
084521 - to save time by contacting the assigned coordinator.
084522 -
084523 - Sherrilynn was agreeable.  She proposed that I talk directly to the
084524 - department upstairs who is handling this matter...

084531 -
084532 - After another 10 minutes Sherrilynn came back on line and suggested
084533 - that she will coordinate this contact.  She took my number and said
084534 - she will get someone to call back who has the authority to coordinate
084535 - solutions.

0853 -
085301 - She talked to Kerry, and was told that Patrick is working on the
085302 - Welch order.
085303 -
085304 - We reviewed understandings that Patrick has gone to another state to
085305 - perform training, ref SDS 0 7482, and as a result he planned to ask a
085306 - supervisor to assign someone to coordinate completion of our order.
085307 -
085308 - Sherrilynn asked me to hold on.
085309 -
085310 - She put me in touch with Kerry who works in Patrick's department.
085311 -
085312 - Thanked Sherrlynn for her excellent work.
085313 -
085314 - Talked to Kerry.

085317 - to have someone assigned to coordinate our order. ref SDS 0 7482
085318 -
085319 - Kerry said that Patrick is the supervisor and so this understanding
085320 - seems conflicting.
085321 -
085322 - We noted the potential for conflicts to arise when the number of tasks
085323 - and communications escalate.
085324 -
085325 - Kerry said she walked down to Patrick's office at the other end of the
085326 - building and noticed that he is not in his office.  She then paged
085327 - him, and spoke to Patrick just a few minutes ago.
085328 - ..
085329 - Kerry advised that Patrick said he is working on the Welch
085330 - order, and will call Welch when he gets information to move the matter
085331 - forward.

085336 - leave the state, and he seems to be working on the order, rather than
085337 - having asked a supervisor to assign a coordinator.

086507 -
086508 - Sang gave me an IP address to ping the server.  This was successful.
086509 -
086510 - He had me examine Netscape Preferences, but we could not find
086511 - anything that suggested a solution.
086512 -
086513 - Sang suggested calling up IE, but it also failed to recognize the
086514 - Internet connection through TCP/IP.
086515 -
086516 - Sang feels he needs assistance for working with Windows 2000.

086904 - He is aware we had to purchase EnterNet 300 v 1.34 for Windows 2000
086905 - for $30, and so is arranging to have our account credited that amount.
086906 - Cervando said Pac Bell should have delivered this program for
086907 - installation on Saturday, and also, Pac Bell has a site where we can
086908 - download the program for free.
086909 -
086910 - Advised that I am talking to Sang on the other line, and he is trying
086911 - to call Patrick to get instructions on how to configure Pac Bell's DSL
086912 - service with W2000. ref SDS 0 6984
086913 -
086914 - We decided that since Cervando has good resources on how to solve our
086915 - problem, we can accomplish the work directly, and then coordinate
086916 - with Sang later rather than try to get everyone involved now.
086917 -
086918 - Cervando asked for Sang's direct line.  He will call him later to
086919 - explain the solution.
086920 -

086944 -
086945 - Robert advised we have to assign Pac Bell to a "Domain" register
086946 - somewhere in Network properties.  He does not Windows 2000 on his
086947 - computer, but has worked with Windows NT.
086948 -

086960 -
086961 - Properties for this resource does not show a "domain" option.
086962 -
086963 - Robert was disappointed that W2000 seems different from NT.
086964 -
086965 - He feels there is one thing we need to do, but he cannot think of it
086966 - at the moment.  He wants to do some research, including call other
086967 - resources for assistance.
086968 -

0877 -
087701 - Cervando and Robert were on the line.
087702 -
087703 - Initially, explained that Sang had difficulty contacting Cervando at
087704 - the direct line reported earlier, ref SDS 0 2058, and that I was not
087705 - able to get Cervando at that number either.
087706 -
087707 - Cervando said there are a lot of changes occurring in the department.
087708 - He indicated we could leave a message on that number for him.  We
087709 - reviewed the challenge of making timely contact to solve problems
087710 - where the voice mail message does not mention anything about DSL or
087711 - technical support, or anything remotely sounding like Cervando.
087712 -

087725 - Cervando, Robert Take Responsibility to Coordinate Installation

087727 -
087728 - Cervando said that he and Robert are going to stay on this problem
087729 - until it is solved.  He feels that he and Robert are two of the top
087730 - experts in Pac Bell on DSL installation, and so he is confident they
087731 - will get the job done.
087732 - ..
087733 - Cervando is leaving for Texas tomorrow, however, he will remain
087734 - in touch with Robert on the Welch installation project until it is
087735 - completed.
087744 -
087745 - Robert has Pac Bell contacts in Texas who he feels will likely know
087746 - the solution to our problem because they have been working with
087747 - Windows 2000.
087748 -
087749 - Neither Robert nor Cervando have Windows 2000 installed on their
087750 - computers, and so they do not have actual experience using it.  They
087751 - plan, however, to make this a priority, since more customers will be
087752 - using w2000 in the period ahead.  I advised experience the past month
087753 - or so shows it is much more stable than W98.
087754 -
087755 - I explained I have to be in court tomorrow to serve on a jury, per
087756 - report on 000414. ref SDS 33 0001 and so have to leave the office
087757 - about 0815 to get the courthouse by 0845.
087758 -
087759 - Robert said he gets in the office about 0700.  He will call his
087760 - contacts in Texas and get the information we need.
087761 - ..
087762 - Robert will call me tomorrow after 1700 to finalize
087763 - installation.
087764 -
087765 - Robert seemed to indicate he stays at the office until OA 2000, so we
087766 - should be able to hook up.
087774 -
087775 - Robert will send a letter tomorrow on coordinating.  Cervando will
087776 - remain in touch to support our efforts.
