Work told me to switch my home office POTS from the local Frontier
telco to a corporate managed AT&T PSTN service.
A friend who used to work for Frontier tells me AT&T does not have a
POP in the Middletown, NY central office. I made this known to work and
their reply was my location "qualifies" for AT&T service so I should
make the change. How can AT&T deliver when there is no local POP ?

They subcontract to the local telco.

I seem to recall in the '90s, when I lived in Rochester, NY -- not long
after Rochester Telephone changed their name to Frontier, and well
before they sold out to Global Crossing and were then sold to Citizens
-- that AT&T offered CLEC service in Rochester.
Another possibility is that their "AT&T" service might actually be
through ACC Business. ACC Telecom, also based in Rochester, used to be
a CLEC focusing on colleges and small businesses. AT&T bought them in
the late '90s. They still operate as an independent business division.

FX service? A common way to connect "small", "remote" locations to a PSTN.

Manager approved paperwork, week later e-mail from AT&T rep says
"Sorry, Service not available in your area." Directed to use plan C,
which is retaining home office local number and order phantom number /
phone mail forwarded from nearest corporate office to home office,
about a 30 mile drive in an adjoining LATA. My local telco friends were
right.. the AT&T database was broke.
