TCG/ATT Local Service took out their local fiber ring in Needham, MA around 1pm EDT. Apparently they made a change to the STS-1 programming, and something went wrong. Techs are now being dispatched to various points around the fiber ring to try to resolve the problem. Notice, I don't just pick on MCI/Worldcom. Last word we had from our "one-to-one" MCI/Worldcom contacts is they hope to have the frame-relay problem fixed by Friday or Monday at the latest. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
