Yes and no ... GlobalCrossing in the US blew up ... everything then got
re-routed through our secondary pipe, which appears to need to be
increased cause packets were getting through, but at a *very* high packet
loss ... stuff I'm working on in that regard ...

According to Josh, I guess the last virus going around was estimated at
about 10million infections, so I'm figuring that someone(s) on
GlobalCrossing network was the target for this one, and 10million
simultaneous hits would be quite interesting ... :(
