Here is a message that we received from UUNET today. It seems that they are full of various explanations. July 01, 1997 Dear UUNET Customer, Please accept our apologies if you have experienced any service interruptions over the past 24 hours. The cause of these problems has been traced to a software defect within our Cascade Frame Relay network. UUNET is working closely with Cascade to fully understand the cause and effects of these problems and is in the process of identifying a permanent fix. This may include rapidly deploying new software into the network. We will provide periodic updates throughout the day as further information becomes available. Routing instabilities may continue at a diminished capacity over the next 24-48 hours as switches receive updates. Thank you for your patience during this period. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience which these outages may have caused you or your customers. Sincerely, UUNET Technologies, Inc. ------------------------------------------ Chad Skidmore VP Operations & Engineering Data Source, L.L.C. http://www.dsource.com cskidmore@dsource.com
