Just called UUNET to ask why traffic from MSP1 to CHI1 is crawling. They said there is a WorldCom OC-12 outage in the Chicago area afecting CHI <-> DC traffic. Something weather related. UUNET ticket # 694960. We have a pipe to MCI in WillowSprings, and it is crawling as well. Chicago apears to be a congested place at the moment. Kevin
