breaks I am interest in understanding what happened.
Gordon,
Why would this be a backbone issue? It sounds to me like Westnet
relies on a single connection from its NSP, and that this failed for
some period of time. Any single component, be it circuit, router,
etc. *will fail*. If a regional depends on a single point of failure
the outcome is inevitable.
