from UUNet:
 UUNET is currently experiencing routing
                                            instabilities resulting from a
circuit outage in
                                            the Philadelphia, PA area.

                                              Senior network engineers are
working closely
                                            with one of our Telco providers
to quickly resolve
                                            the problem and restore quality
service.

                                              More information will be
provided as it becomes
                                            available.
