Well, the problem isn't so much that we're looking to have something on-hand to replace something... that'll be a problem for later, after there is something there in the first place. I guess the real question is this: if someone called me and said "I have a T1, and I have phones, but I have nothing in between them", is there a store that I could go to in the area where I could get the parts that I need to build them a working system in the matter of a couple of hours?<br>

<p>If overnight is too long, buy it now and keep it boxed. At failure time the replacement part then costs double plus shipping.<br>
Seriously. <br>
Keeping specialty spare parts on handis extreme customer service and calls for comparable pricing.<br>
Compared to the cost of downtime it's cheap.</p><div><div></div><div class="h5">
