una garantia in condicional de funcionamiento satisfactorio en todos los puntos de
terminación de la red de una RTPC.
En caso de surgir algún problema, procede ponerse en contacto en primer lugar el
proveedor de equipo."

PSTN's in de verschillende landen, biedt deze goedkeuring op zichzelf geen onvoorwaardelijke garantie voor een succesvolle werking op elk PSTN-netwerkaansluit-
