The ratio of the cross section for 2' inclusive production to the cross section for A0 inclusive production has been measured with 28.5-GeV/c protons incident on a beryllium target at an average laboratory production angle of 4". This ratio was measured to be 0.278?0.011-C0.05, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic in that order. The ratio does not depend strongly on the momentum of the produced particle between 10 and 24 GeV/c. The effect of Z0 contamination on previous determinations of the polarization of inclusively produced Ao's is discussed.

Modem wideband and broadband digital cross-connect systems are being increasingly deployed in fiber networks in the Bell Operating Companies (BOCs). A network controller maximizes the effectiveness of these elements in automating the management and control of high capacity digital networks, and the provisioning and service restoration of DSl and DS3 facilities. This paper discusses strategies used in providing the above capabilities in a recently deployed network, and associated architectures and interfaces. The fist customer application of AT&T's DACScan-2000 Controller is used to illustrate how these strategies are realized in the BOC environment.
