But no rest for the exhausted. There is a software upgrade scheduled later tonight.

I'm trying to post no more than once in 12 hours. The attempt to load software last night did not go well. The network collapsed again. If it didn't work the first three times, try, try, try again. MCI/Worldcom is resetting cards and switches one more time. In an interesting reverse escalation, the longer the outage continues; the fewer people there seem to be at worldcom. The VPs and managers seem to have vanished, leaving behind call takers and an occasional engineer who accidently picks up a phone. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
