Talking with Linksys tech support
« on: February 28, 2007, 07:45:36 PM »
Linksys is kind enough to provide us with a tech support system that is text-based! Today, I decided to inform them that my PAP2 SIP client is having some problems.

Here's how the conversation went (they're sort of out of order):


Rex is a representative who has sworn at people in the chat.

I decided to try something a bit more coherent:









I seriously wonder if she had to break her script for this.

That shit is funny. I got the person to talk to me for a good 30 minutes. My person was Filipino and not in India as I expected. They ended the call because I didn't know if the voice prompt on my pap2 was a male or female voice. I guess it's female, I just said, "It's computer generated, did they use festival?" I mentioned sshd and they thought I was talking about an SSID. That was good idea, you're a genius.

When I worked at a computer repair shop, I had to call Microsoft all the time for product activation, which was fairly routine. However, everyone would crowd around me to see what I had to say. If I wasn't feeling particularly creative, I'd just see if I could top my previous record of 'cactus' (I think it sat near 40 for a 3-5 minute call), but other times I created plenty of characters (a gay one, a Borat imitation, a vehemently racist Indian (he hated Pakis), etc.) and just got my representatives to say ridiculous things while asking to marry them, what the weather and women were like in India, how much sex they got weekly, etc. It was pretty fun, but I lost my suction mic for my microcassette recorder so I could never record them.
