Today 21.02.2002 from about 11:30 the problems with access to USA

networks were temporarily solved via a backup line.



The GEANT control center has informed us that the error that has caused

the inaccessebility has not been removed so far. Trafic has been routed

trough a backup line.

So it's not only me, but all of Europe that cannot access the USA

networks.



Neil, don't kill your ISP for it, the new gigabit network (transfer

rates are now 10 GB/second) has droped connection with the USA networks

for compatiblity reasons a number of times in the recent days, these are

problems on a global scale, everybody has to live with it. =]



C'ya!
