Here's what happened:
AGIS's connection to MAE-East experienced one of these kind-of-working problems which resulted in the erratic behavior above. Digex customers wishing to reach AGIS customers called the Digex NOC, and the posting which started this all was made to the Digex internal news group. Similarly, AGIS customers had problems, and we worked with MFS to get the problem resolved (they must have a warehouse full of swapped-out NetEdges at this point).
On the other hand, one could assume with equal probability that there really is only *one* spare and it keeps being put back into service. :-) Erik
