who fowkl lnd fixed the problem —
a blown fuse.
Burns said the outage affected
calls in the Clifton, Tumersville, and
Cranfills Gap exchanges.
The circuit outage also played
havoc with Internet access for Clif-
ton residents.
“Southwestern Bell tested their
part of the circuit for several hours
and declared it fixed. When the link
did not then come back up, we re
placed the router and other equip-
ment in the Clifton office. The link
still did not come back up. We then
replaced the UPS and everything
worked,” said Larry Anglin, owner of
Hometown Computing, local provider
of Internet access.
Anglin said when an outage occurs,
it can be difficult to determine where
a problem is, and what ends up fix-
ing it.”
“I apologize for any inconvenience
this outage may have caused,” Anglin
added.
