[comp.dcom.telecom] More ATM Stories

"Paul S. R. Chisholm" <psrc@pegasus.att.com> (06/01/90)

I passed the latest round of Telecom ATM stories on to a friend (my
boss when I was doing plastic card network software), who replied:

"It reminds me of another story related to the San Francisco
earthquake.  Seems someone called Tandem to request technical
assistance, because the earthquake had taken his Tandem system down --
literally.  The machine tipped over on its back, but was still
running.  He needed to know how to stand it back up without stopping
it.

"I guess you can't blame them for not covering that in the operations
manual."
