It doesn't take long for the vultures to swoop in:

I just picked up a voice mail from a UUnet salesperson that says
"... I saw that y'all are at AboveNet and I'm fairly sure that you are
aware of what happened yesterday with the denial of service attacks
and I was wondering if y'all might be looking to go with somebody else
that way you aren't shut down and you don't lose business ..."

I must have missed the UUnet press release that stated that
UUnet will not be affected by any DDOS attacks.  Or maybe it
is in a document covered by an NDA :-)
