Both servers will be down indefinately. Further information will be passed on as it becomes available.

...is not just an inconvenience. On the strength of Merit's publicity, quite a few peerships have been done through route servers, and to have both route servers down at the same time is a massive disruption to many of the folks who connect at MAE-W. I have two heavily overconfigured Alpha machines loaded in my van, with Stephen Stuart's port of RSd all ready for someone from Merit or ISI to load up their configuration tables. I've got a driver and a technician. I need someone from Merit or ISI to call me and arrange physical access as well as scheduling the download of the initial configuration files and turnover of the root account and other "system keys". The use of the machines, and the time to deliver and install them, have all been donated by people who are suffering due to MAE-West's ills. It is most extraordinary that we have let things suffer this long, and if the current plan is to wait until after the three day weekend, I consider that flatly unacceptable. E-mail me (paul () vix com) or call me (1 415 747 0204) to arrange details. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
