Illinois Bell recently found that one particular type of board in the DMS100 frames were the source of the problem. They found that about 1/3rd of the boards of this type were defective! They have sent out a nation-wide alert to all Bell operating companies describing the problem and how to determine which boards in the frame are bad. --Keith Petersen Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA Uucp: {bellcore,decwrl,harvard,lll-crg,ucbvax,uw-beaver}!simtel20.arpa!w8sdz GEnie: W8SDZ RCP/M Royal Oak: 313-759-6569 - 300, 1200, 2400 (V.22bis) or 9600 (USR HST)
