[comp.dcom.telecom] AT&T Software Failure Information Needed

angel@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Angel M Chan) (10/08/90)

I am looking for detailed information concerning the AT&T network
failure incident.  I need to know the exact date, information, and
consequences related to a large scale network failure (due to the
software problems).  I would appreciate any comments, opinions, and
information on this subject (or one related to it).

Thank you.  Please respond to angel@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu.

In the September or October issue of {Popular Science}, they give lots
of detalis on the crash along with a sample of the code that caused
the problem.  Check with the library.  They probably have a copy there
somewhere.
