<<The thing about this sabotage story that doesn't ring true is that Ciena's gear caught fire during ramped up testing, which pretty much indicates it wasn't ready for the big leagues just yet. AT&T had a huge outage a while back due to fire, and has no desire for an encore anytime soon.>> I am not an expert by any means in this area but, for those interested, around the time of Cien lossing the ATT business there were several interesting posts on the Cien thread from persons claiming to have been involved in these types of eval's and saying that creating conditions for fire-type symptoms in equipment is fairly easy for the knowledgeable. Several interesting stories posted about possible eval sabotage, including one eval failure report that specified "approx. one quart of human urine poured into the top vent" as the diagnosed cause of failure. What's a mother to do? ; )
