I read about it on one of the ISP lists. Called their tech support around 09:00 PDT this morning and got a report that a few of the POPs were up around the country, but they didn't know which ones. Later today, one of their press people actually admitted to being down from yesterday afternoon until 05:00 PDT today, although I couldn't see any of their web or mail/shell servers until about noon. Here's the original message from the list. Do they really have a single point of failure someplace? >Message-Id: <[email protected][157.22.222.199]> >Date: Tue, 18 Jun 1996 16:41:50 -0700 >To: [email protected] >From: "Rusty H.
