We received notification this morning that there were some problems with at least one of the ATM switch cards @ AADS. If it is getting worse, lets hope they fix it before their scheduled maintenance (this next weekend). k ------------- SBC/Ameritech NAP customers, We have been experiencing problems with the card that your circuit resides on. We are planning to swap it out on Sunday, July 28th at 12:01AM CST. With that you will experience a short outage. Thanks for your patience.

Are you reacting to the contents of the bill (bill number?) or to the interpretations of a reporter? Could someone please cite the 90 days requirement in an actual bill? Not saying it's not there, but the bills I could find through Thomas don't seem to have any mention of this. I'm not calling my senators until I have precise citations. >Talk to your senators folks.

Requirement to store email for 90 days.

"The bill has to go to Senate, where it is expected to receive little opposition, before becoming law." Talk to your senators folks. See if they're going to pay for the disk arrays required to store 90 days worth of SPAM for each and every one of your customers. I suggest that congress get the spammers under control prior to enacting legislation that requires us to archive all email for 90 days. --- John Fraizer | High-Security Datacenter Services | EnterZone, Inc | Dedicated circuits 64k - 155M OC3 | http://www.enterzone.net/ | Virtual, Dedicated, Colocation |

If you thought Y2K was bad, wait until cyber-security hits
by Sean Donelan 21 Jul '02

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,387377,00.asp "All the while maintaining that the government will not set IT security requirements for the private sector, top federal IT officials today said they expect such mandates will be imposed on federal agencies and that the same standards will also be used by industry." While standards are great, one-size-fits-all standards aren't. When the government's cyber-security plan is released in September, will there be 500 requirements that Internet Service Providers must meet? Should ISPs be more secure than the post office or the telephone or the bike messenger? Must Bill's Bait & Sushi Shop ISP Service meet the same security requirements as the ISP for the White House? ISPs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Consumers use cordless phones at home, but the NSA prohibits use of cordless phones in secure areas. Just because the government issues a security standard doesn't make it suitable for all purposes. Some people like paying $9.95 for Internet service from an ISP without a backup generator, and wouldn't want to pay $29.95 for a "certified" ISP with a backup generator. If the $9.95 ISP fails, heck they could almost afford two more for the same price as a single "certified" ISP. Sometimes a hammer is just a hammer, and you don't need a MIL-SPEC. If the Department of Homeland Security creates a new security standard for ISPs, what do you think will happen to any ISP which doesn't meet it? The security "Gold Standard" for Microsoft 2000 was written by the Critical Infrastructure Protection Board, the Center for Internet Security, the National Security Agency, the General Services Administration, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the SANS Institute. Do you know who is writing the security "Gold Standard" for Internet Service Providers?

And as you stated, 60 Hubson does not > need ConEd to run. You forget that "60 Hudson" doesnt' have a generator. It's a collection of privately-leased spaces each of which is individually responsible for its power needs. If you wanna generator, you need to rent space for it (I believe there's no space on the roof anymore, so that means in the stret), need to get landlord wayleave for cabling to it (duct space ain't cheap, specially if you're on the higher floors) and get permits for noise, fuel storage and so on. It ain't thrown in, and adds up to something prohibitive in many cases in that particular building. Digex, ergo Intermedia, ergo whoever it is today on the 23rd floor managed to smuggle up a generator and install it within their suite. I don't know if the landlord knows yet :) It's one of 60 Hudson's worst kept secrets (or it was a few years ago, at any rate) It begs the question why quite so much depends on that site.
