[comp.dcom.telecom] Major Outage in MD/DC/VA

"Lloyd W. Taylor" <lloyd@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu> (06/27/91)

A major outage has occurred in the MD/DC/VA area, apparently due to a
software malfunction.  No calls can be originated from telephones in
this area, but calls coming from outside are properly handled.

More info will be forthcoming as it becomes available.

today, and this issue of the Digest is devoted entirely to the
episode, along with mention of a coincidental (?) problem in
California.  PAT]
