Hi, I was wondering if anyone has heard of the following term. I received it as a notification of an outtage from a vendor : At 5:35 CST, October 19, 1998 our AT&T backbone had 23 T-3's cut by a contractor. This caused a massive BIFF (Backhoe Induced Fiber Failure). Tuc/TTSG

If it were okay to combine MCI outage notification TLAs with AT7T TLA, we could have: The BIPP had a BIFF. -- Dan Boehlke, Senior Network Engineer M R N e t Internet: dboehlke@mr.net A MEANS Telcom Company Phone: 612-362-5814 2829 SE University Ave. Suite 200 WWW: http://www.mr.net/~dboehlke/ Minneapolis, MN 55414
