Translation (by Mike McNally m5@tivoli.com):
> THEnet sites experienced network wide routing trouble
THE NETWORK WAS COMPLETELY HOSED
> beginning shortly after 0900 Wed, Jan 26 1994.
STARTING AT EXACTLY 9 AM TODAY
> The trouble was related to new software
NEW UNTESTED SOFTWARE TURNED OUT TO BE WORTHLESS JUNK
> installed by Sesquinet at the Rice
AND WE WERE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO INSTALL IT
> point of presence and affected all external routing in Texas.
SO THE NETWORK WAS COMPLETELY HOSED
> The problem was cleared by re-installing the previous software
> load at about 1130.
WE JUNKED THE NEW STUFF AND REBOOTED AS SOON AS WE FOUND THE BACKUP
TAPES.
> We regret the inconvenience caused by this outage.
I AM ABOUT TO BE BEATEN SENSELESS BY MY SUPERIORS. PRAY FOR ME.
