No, AT&T has a good-sized StrataCom network, hence the large outage in their
frame network last year. :) Badly implemented software update (someone
didn't read the manual).

Everything on the WAN track is awful - Their are no books, and the
documentation sucks after you get past IGX/BPX 101. I have been waiting
for a higher level troubleshooting class for years. The last one they had
was in the IPX days.
>From what I hear you have to not only know how to configure all of the
StrataCom stuff, but multi-vendor PBX's as well. They tell me you have to
also setup Cisco WAN Manager on a Solaris Platform (what they used to call
SV+ - there are some tricks to this one from personal experience, you need
to be somewhat UNIX savvy)
>From the last stats that I saw dated 4/30/00 their were only 59 in the
world with a 5:1 ratio on passing the lab - the R/S is about 3:1
I had also planned on getting the WAN CCIE after my R/S, due to the fact I
support a pretty good size StrataCom network.
That is if I ever pass the R/S lab.

P.S. I was under the impression that AT&T only had Ascend? not StrataCom.

Anybody out there know what to do to prepare for this? 2 MGX8850's have
recently become available to me - the docs are awful though.
