Was that the one over the 4th of July weekend? If so, I remember
it vividly. The computer center back at East Texas went down like
4:30 on the day before the break, and STAYED down for several days.
I guess they couldn't be bothered to re-boot it.

Fortunately, although the link is slow, the service is Montana is
reasonably reliable (and now that I've said that, watch it be
down for the next 3 weeks :-)

It's pretty certain we'll be going to a T1 sometime in the fall, and
may be migrating to a faster machine as well, so things hopefully
will continue to improve!

THANKS
