Despite the (small) improvement last week, apparently achieved by adding another FDDI between giga1 and gigis2, MAE-WEST loss continues. I'm currently seeing up to 40% loss between giga1 and giga2, and about 30% between giga2 and giga3. I've contatacted Steve, but no word back, yet. -- Dave Rand dlr at bungi.com http://www.bungi.com
