Considering that his problems were isolated to Exodus clients, yes, it's off-topic. Small network outages happen every day, and I don't think we need to hear about them all. IMHO, what DOES belong on this list are discussions of network design, router configuration, LARGE SCALE outages, emerging Internet technologies, and general knowledge-sharing of how to build better networks. It's not a mailing list for end users to say "I can't reach www.something.com, but before I report it to my ISP or to the far-end ISP I wanted to see if anyone else sees my problem." If that is what the list continues to turn into, I for one will be unsubscribing, because that is useless to me. -Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Jon Green * "Life's a dance * * [email protected] * you learn as you go" * * Finger for Geek Code/PGP * * * #include "std_disclaimer.h" * http://www.quadrunner.com/~jon * -------------------------------------------------------------------------
