Detailed Description of Increment:  
----------------------------------
This increment will introduce the ISD Database auto rebuild/check. This new
functionality will cause an automatic rebuild of the ISD database the first
time the ISD tool is brought up after the OPC becomes active. The fix also 
prevents the user from applying any TDM patches below the GA marker patch.
The combination of these changes will prevent future TDM downgrade issues
for customers that upgrade to an AN18 pre-patched load with these fixes in
them.  It will also aleviate the need for any manual steps to be taken after
the upgrade to an AN18 pre-patched load has been completed.

Provisioning manager is now able to retrieve circuit information
for STS level connections.

The ADSL 8+8, ADSL 10+10, and Enhanced DS1 ATM cards
have been added to the database and will now be reported in the
Remote Inventory Process.
