I think it was Abovenet that blackholed a /24 of (I want to say MAPS, but that's not right) an anti-spam-RBL sometime pre-1999?
If I'm not mistaken, that was ORBS.
Correct. A particularly interesting case, since ORBS' transit provider was also a transit customer of Above.net. Said transit provider would announce their /16s, of which ORBS sat in a /24 or two of, and have their traffic blackholed. IIRC they punched /24s via their other transit providers to partly resolve the issue. But the rest of the story - let's not go there.
