PSUVM is a major bitnet and LISTSERV re-distribution point. Many of our bitnet links are in reality handled by VMNET sw, which is Bitnet tunneled thru IP. Our Internet service provider, PREPnet, has had major service disruptions in the last 24 hr (storm related and/or routing). Consequently, e-mail (or news) delivery thru PSUVM (and this includes mail neither generated to nor from psuvm (or psuvm.psu.edu) users had/has been been delayed. BTW, our fastest link out of PSUVM to PREPnet is T-1. -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "Are you an infomaniac?" +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
