Below is some news on the AT&T problem. I got it from YAHOO. It
is a Reuters article.

NEW YORK, April 13 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. said Monday its frame relay network was experiencing ''service interuptions,'' apparently nationwide,
affecting an undisclosed number of business customers.

AT&T spokeswoman Ruthlyn Newell told Reuters by phone late Monday afternoon that the problem in the frame relay network, a high speed data
network, began about 1500 EDT/1900 GMT and was ongoing as of just before 1800 EDT/2200 GMT.

''We are working very aggressively to identify the cause of the problem and to isolate and repair it,'' Newell said.

Newell would not disclose the number of customers affected, citing competitive concerns, but said the company was working to notify those customers.

The AT&T frame relay problem disrupted our entire corporation WAN about 2:20 pm EST today and for the rest of the afternoon. It still was out at 8:30 pm when I checked.

Yahoo has posted a Reuter's story out at 6pm about it.
