[Imc-web] FYI

[Zachary C. Miller]

Soltec had site wide problems today several times that left ALL of
their DSL customers with internet access. They claim these problems
were not their fault but were Ameritech/SBC's problems.

Today my net was down during the following periods:

10:32-11:15
16:19-16:47
18:01-18:56 (!)
20:24-22:13 (!!)
23:00-23:02

I am going to call tomorrow to try to get to the bottom of how bad
these problems are and whether they've been resolved. 

I am still moving forward with getting a second DSL line installed as
a backup so that if we need to we can dump Sol Tec's service. Having a
backup line to fall back on give us much better negotiating
ability. Ordering a new DSL line is a very slow process.

I've also ordered the parts for a second server which gives more
flexibility in migrating from one network to another and better backup
capabilities in case of hardware failure. They shipped today, I
probably won't have time to build the server until I return from
vacation (I'm leaving in 1 week and returning Oct 1st).
