I don't know what was going on, and I'm sure I never will, but it seems
while our tech was on the road between the Z end and A end, after
replacing everything at the Z end, The circuit magically fixed itself.
He arrived at the A end, and without making any changes, we went from A
end up/up, Z end up/up(looped) to everything normal and the circuit able
to pass traffic again.
I just know if I call Bell back and ask them what's going on, they'll say
they haven't even looked at this circuit since yesterday.
