I did a traceroute (well, mswindoze tracert, anyway), and got a "destination unreachable" from a machine at realtime.net in Austin. SSZ has often been unreliable;
Unreliable? We average six and eight month uptimes. And when the outages occur it has been either hardware failure or a service failure. We average 2 hardware failures per year and it usualy(!) takes less than 4 hours to have it replaced (not bad for off the shelf consumer equipment). A scratch OS re-load is a 2hr downtime. I have the system down less than 8 hours a month (usualy only a few minutes at a time) for routine maintenance and cleaning. We usualy get about 4 service interruptions of some sort or another a month. They usualy last about 4 hours. The section of town I live in is over 100 years old and in major reconstruction so this isn't too bad. Irrespective, there isn't anything I can do about those anyway. At your age, you wish you were as regular as SSZ is.
I think it's connected by ISDN, and it's raining down in Texas.
Yes, we had a ISDN/Ethernet issue. Replacing the hardware with a suitable model was harder than expected, coudn't find anyone open with stock on Saturday. As to rain, 4in/hr is a tad more than a sprinkle junior. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able. Buddha The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
