Re: [TCLUG:13189] US West at it's US Worst...



We're having problems right now.  The hopkins CO barfed.  I'm watching
the empty DS0's on my PRI's wink randomly.  8 or 10 of them will come on
at once for 1/2 a second and show pretty amber lights on the
totalcontrol.  I'm also seeing tons of CRC and transitions on my ptp and
frames.  Icky icky.  Internet is SLOW!

Ovation has assured me that the problem will be fixed shortly.  I've
heard that before :)
