Message-ID: Date: 29 Mar 91 01:53:01 GMT Sender: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Organization: TELECOM Digest Lines: 13 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 255, Message 7 of 11 My question for those in the know: What was the cause of the fiber break which caused the Sprint outage last week? Details please. If it was along a RR right-of-way (and buried) how was it cut? Not by a train wreck I assume? Right? tom internet : mvac23!thomas@udel.edu or thomas%mvac23@udel.edu (home) : 4398613@mcimail.com (work) uucp : {ucbvax,mcvax,uunet}!udel!mvac23!thomas Location : Newark, DE, USA
