Power was not fully restored in some areas until after 10pm local time. In addition major trunking betweek CLEC's and the ILEC (US West) are still down. E.Spire is suffering from a 12+ hour failure on the switched services systems. Thus all Dial, ISDN, etc are down cold between them and US West. US West is reporting that they lost a transformer that is causing the problem Several large ISP's dial infra-structure is seriouls degraded at this time. jmbrown On Sat, Mar 18, 2000 at 09:48:07PM -0800, Sean Donelan wrote: > > The associated press reports most of the state of New Mexico lost power > about 5pm on Saturday. > > A grass fire in the four corners area bewteen Farmington and Albuquerque > is being blamed for causing the outage.
