from the evidence at hand it seems that agis doesn't give a damn. to those who remember the beginning of agislist@interstice.com it is clear that then ( and I would presume so now) they had a technical staff made up primarily of newbies. Why their technical depth should be any greater now escapes me. I mean would *YOU* want 6 months to a year of employment at agis on YOUR resume? and if you are currently clueful would you wait more than a nanosecond before rejecting an employment offer from them? It is just a damned shame how many isps apparently didn't do their homework before signing up with agis. I wonder how long they can last? ************************************************************************ The COOK Report on Internet For subsc. pricing & more than 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA ten megabytes of free material (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) visit http://cookreport.com/ Internet: cook@cookreport.com On line speech of critics under attack by Ewing NJ School Board, go to http://cookreport.com/sboard.shtml ************************************************************************ On Sun, 25 May 1997, J.D.

Seems that they were ping flooded, among other things.
I've heard a few interesting rumours:
1. AGIS has been attacked (yes, this is only a rumour, the only "evidence" is on the AGIS web page)
2. Somebody was pingflooding the routers
3. Somebody was SYN-flooding the routers(???)
4. The culprit was inside the AGIS network
5. AGIS was doing some upgrades that went bad (again)
Sure would be nice if AGIS was still friendly with other backbones, so we could all help trace down the culprit (even if it's just a typo in a router config), make it public among the NANOG community, and make sure that it doesn't happen to anybody else.
