Ever have one of those 'synergy' kind of days? DRA's network dates
back to 1984, and is positively ancient compared to some networks. But
even I was left speechless by today's outage. Here's an extract from
DRA's trouble ticket diary.
>But, I have been give a bit of background information on why they are having

>San Diego, was owned by Western Union, which was bought out by MCI Local,
>which is a part of MCI, which merged with World Comm. So, MCI/World Comm has

Do other people have problems like this? Or does Murphy just likes me?
