IXC Fibre cut IL,OH

IXC communications currently has more than a hundred ds3s cut. The outage started at 0830 CDT on 9/19/98. All ds3s that I have isolated traverse their fibre route between cleveland and downtown chicago. The outage seems to affect the chicago area primarily. IXC was unable to provide ETR. On a side-note, if you are in the ameritech service area, ixc's 800 number translation is not working. You get to hear a non-standard 'all circuits are busy'. If you need to reach them, call their austin number 5124273700 BR
