Code Red on RoadRunner

[Philip, Anil]

I am hearing from a friend at MCI Worldcom that they have been hit so hard,
their internet access has been shut off - they only have email.

Well, at least KC is better of than Minneapolis. From what I'm getting from
one of our clients up there. Quest is using Cisco DSL routers everywhere.
Apparently Quest has been hit really hard there, I know it is a nightmare
for me. I'm getting pages every couple of hours when the routers go down and
my automated EDI scripts can't access the internet. And I can't even do
anything to control that, because that is a hardware/firmware issue, which
is affecting my software applications!

YeeeeHaaaaaaaaw !
