In response to Jim Redelfs message from June 18, 1991 ... here is the
current scoop from the AT&T Fact Book as of April,1991 [available from
the AT&T Customer Information Center 1-800-432-6600 as Sel.  Code
015-005-001 $0.72]:

AT&T Worldwide Intelligent Network

	Average daily calls handled   120 million
  -->	Digitally transported         100 percent
	Digital network route miles   72,124
	Reach                         273 countries/territories
	Direct dial capability        177 countries
	Busiest calling day           Monday after Thanksgiving

At some point within the last year and a bit the network went 100%
digital!

Cheers,
