I'm not a customer of sprint, but I have an account on an ISP that is majorly downstream of Sprint. They were told that there was network problems between Houston and Ft Worth between 1700 and 0230. I know that is was a major problem as I notices that not only did it isolate this particular ISP, but it did several other Texas customers of Sprint. From my SBC account I could get anywhere connected to C&W and UUNET, but Sprint was like a black hole. Or at least close enough to seriously bend the light... Just wondering if anyone here had heard anything about it. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog(a)merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Sean Donelan Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 1:49 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: Re: Sprint Problem On Thu, 08 March 2001, "Ukyo Kuonji" wrote: >Does anyone know the cause and extent of the Sprint problem between > Fort >Worth and Houston last night?

more .sucks TLD fun

Considering that the service for .sucks has been reviewed by over 150 unique IPs in the last hour, I have added the very first TLD subdomain.... "really.sucks". Access to this subdomain is via the same interface. Let me know if you want a .sucks domain with a separate admin user. have fun! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Best regards, Karyn Ulriksen Network Operations Manager PublicHost, A VitalStream Company 1 Jenner, Suite 100 Irvine, California 92618 USA Phone: (949) 743-2000 email: kulriksen(a)publichost.com URL: http://www.publichost.com ===========================================
