AT&T/Sprint problems

Mon Nov 30 21:35:43 UTC 1998

Thanks to everybody who is sending me either broken or complete
traceroutes to Sprint. Sprint seems to be slowly fixing itself. As I
understand it, they installed three routers that weren't configured
properly -- exactly how, I don't know.

The interesting problem is AT&T:

[ root at pdx-s01 -> traceroute mailhost.worldnet.att.net

Gone on two distinctly different routes.
