Miami's normal connectivity to OARnet (and through OARnet to the rest of the Internet) is via a T1 to OARnet's Point-of-Presence (POP) in Cincinnati, with a backup 56K direct line to Columbus. From last Friday through this morning, the T1 connection experienced problems, and during some of that time, all Miami connectivity to points outside Miami had to traverse the single 56K line, resulting in general unpleasantness for all users concerned. MCIS regrets any inconveniences suffered during this time. -- John B Harlan Campus Wide Information Systems (CWIS) Coordinator Miami University (Ohio USA) http://WWW.MUOhio.Edu/~HarlanJB/ (513) 529-5330 (513) 529-1496 fax [log in to unmask]
