Strange... I see tickets opened and worked on for these events; it's certainly the case that we work them when notified. If you forward me email from the last time this happened, I can hunt down the confusion. /John

From a customer point of view, I'll have to agree. BBN has been very helpful in trying to track down the source of smurf attacks when we've reported them. Much, much better than other providers who flat out refuse to do any tracing because of "technicial problems with their routers". Others on my helpful provider list are ANS, Digex and Epoch.
