Gary, How the respective companies (CISCO & ASCEND) respond to this crisis, will be most important to AT&T , in my opinion. If anybody responds with the typical "not my job/equipment", than he should suffer the consequences. MM

Re: AT&T Problems Thread.... ATT's frame relay network is based entirely on Stratacom switches. Back in 1996, ATT temporarily installed a few Cascade switches that were used to provide frame/ATM interworking (at the time Stratacom switches were not capable of providing this feature). When Stratacom switches finally provided support for frame/ATM interworking in 2H97, the Cascade switches were decommissioned. ATT's frame network is completely separate from their IP/ATM network, which is built solely on Ascend/CSCC switches (although like the frame network, the IP/ATM network uses Cisco routers at the edge). So, any problems with ATT's frame network appears to be restricted to Stratacom product & not related to Ascend.
