Just wanted to inform anyone that relies on this for system notifications etc. Skytel lost a satellite feed and all of their 2-Way pagers are down. I called them and they told me that it had been down since 5:00pm CST and they hoped to have it back 'soon'.
There was a satellite failure that has taken out most paging in the US. My AirTouch is also out. I assume that the paging comanies are scrambling to get other access. Keep close to the phone and let your NOCs know. :-( -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
