Last week Sprint filed a FCC outage report about a DACS failure during
a software upgrade.

What is up with the DACS vendors.  There seems to continuing problems
when telco's upgrade the software on their DACS equipment.  Since telcos
have created a design with DACS as a single point of failure, these
outages have a big impact on non-switched services such as data lines.

Has anyone heard what, if anything, the telcos and DACS vendors are doing
to solve these software upgrade problems on their DACS equipment?
