Chambers apologized AT&T, part III Frank Ianna, AT&T's vice president for network and computer services, said it would probably take two or three days to pinpoint the precise cause of the breakdown. He said the cause was most likely ''some combination of hardware and software'' failure. [Frank Ianna approved the purchase of several hundred ASND's BSTDX-9000 FR switches and CBX 500 ATM edge switches in early 98 for a NW build out parallel to the existing one using Stratacom IPX 16 FR switches.] Mercury News Staff Writer Jon Healey and The New York Times contributed to this report.

I read the article and think it was network world 5-6 weeks ago. Thanks for the clarification. I just remembered the gist of the article, which was that AT&T had an overburdened network (I guess, in this case it was T1), and that because it was overburdened, there was a greater chance of something like this happening. Guess I didn't read into it so much to remember the exact details of the article. I don't remember the article saying anything about not being specific to AT&T, but that doesn't mean that it _didn't_ say anything!! Good luck, CSCO long, JRH
