Re: Help with bad announcement from UUnet

I realize the original problem has been fixed, but I'd like to find out if
someone does have a contact at UUnet which will help with these types of
issues.  In particular, when I've been having a problem reaching
UUNet-connected sites and needed to contact the uunet noc, I get almost
the same response as Mark did initially, i.e.:

I realize I don't have a direct relationship with UUnet.  But trying to
get my upstream to talk to their upstream to talk to UUnet just to get

Does anyone have better contact information than "call their unhelpful
noc"?
