Pac Bell (ASI/NDPSC, actually) had a failure of the management system for their NewBridge frame/ATM switches at 08:25 this morning, which put 19,000 PVCs into "waiting for connect" state. They were doing individual reconnects for customers up until about 11am, when the senior techs took control of the management system to try to solve the whole problem at once, rather than one-by-one. The Cascades are unaffected, and from what I can see it may be affecting the 36/120s more than the 36/170s, but that may just be coincidence, looking at our lines. Overall, about 10% of our PVCs were affected, and they were able to bring about a third of those back up before 11am. But we had half of our tickets open in the first fifteen minutes of the outage. They're currently predicting that they'll have things back up at 14:00. -Bill
