I don't know about Yahoogroups, but on 9/13 I received an email from Sprint stating that a huge number of backbone routers would be down for emergency software upgrades scheduled for today. This seems at least a bit suspicious and my first thought was "Carnivore." I can't imagine why they'd have to do an emergency software upgrade on forty routers all in the same time frame. Well, that's not entirely true. I suppose if they were suffering from some buggy code and hadn't noticed it until they had already changed the IOS in all of those routers, they'd want to remedy the problem as quickly as possible. Still, it made me wonder.
