PSTN equivalent to the nanog list? PSTN status pages?

I was getting consistent fast busy between 650 and 801 area codes yesterday 
afternoon between 1630-1830h PDT. I don't think it was my switch, cuz time 
before getting fast busy varied from "right away" to "many seconds >= 10", and 
once I heard the beginning of a carrier recorded error msg "message T.." and 
then it was cut off and got fast busy again.

Anyway, I'm just curious if there's any place on the Internet to go looking to 
see what might be going on with the PSTN network....least common denominator 
being a mailing list such as nanog....but I s'pose the PSTN folk aren't so 
informal ;-)

<musing>

I suppose tho, that the question is moot given that with the user interface to 
the PSTN is simply "keep trying until it works" -- unless one has connections 
to multiple LECs and/or long-distance carriers that one can switch between.

thanks,
