Re: AS286 effectively no more..

"The KPNQwest Network Operations Center was CLOSED on 19/07/2002.... "

As everybody knew they did have a really proactive and responsive NOC. It is sad to see things like thi happen. :-(

indeed. it's rare these days that a noc is given enough budget and authority to do a good job. as286 predated the dotcom boom (and bust) by a lot of years and was a fine bunch of folks from the earliest days to the final days. it's really sad to see a successful enterprise swept up by a boom/bust cycle. (i guess anybody who was able to cash out their equity from the kpn/qwest deal saw it as a good thing, but older customers probably wish it hadn't happened.) -- Paul Vixie
