Two comments that we've gotten recently about athena.dialup:
- Some people who were on hotd moved to doa when hotd was going down, and=

then had to move again after a couple days. It would be nice if the=20
ordering could be announced so people knew to move to dialups that weren't=

about to be rebooted.
- Apparently there was some sort of glitch involving SIAB sessions getting=

disconnected quickly. This was on -c sipb, and I think mail may have been=
=20
sent to bug-dialup as well.
