ISP Glossary:
GIS - I was just looking at a list of Cisco TAC phone numbers, when Inoticed the following: Panama2 001 800 507 1422Note (2) says: 2 The Panama phone number is only accessible from Cable and Wireless LEC. Dialing from another LEC results in an unsuccessful call unless you have a Presubscribed Interexchange Carrier (PIC) code. Contact your internal telecom team or carrier to get the PIC code for Cable and Wireless before making the call.I did not know that Panama had a competitive telephone industry -- I'msurprised that the country would be able to support more than one.I also noticed that many Latin-American countries had instructionslike the following: Argentina Telefonica: 0800-222-6249, Card number1 XXX XXX XXX XYY YY Telecom: 0800-555-1002, Card number1 XXX XXX XXX XYY YY...where note (1) says: 1 Instructions for Special Dial Access 1. Dial the Local Access number 2. After the chime, dial the Card Number and PIN number YYYY 3. When you hear a few beeps, dial *99 4. If the *99 doesn't work, the operator will ask what number you wish to dial; use the Card NumberI'm guessing that this is some sort of IXC-operated USA-directservice, where the card number and PIN (that I have X'ed out here) areused to authenticate the user as a Cisco customer who has access tothe customer-only part of Cisco's Web site. I note that the PIN isthe same for all of the countries which use this scheme, but the cardnumber is not. Most of the countries in question seem to use a cardnumber that looks like a NANP phone number in the Durham, N.C. area(perhaps RTP?).--Garrett A.
