One repeater was down:

*w51-010a-rep-1.   1/13 20:40  timeout      12/30 17:37-12/31  7:43 unreachable

but I suspect it's only the management, as at least some the hosts 
originally complained about (burton-conner- through burton-conner-5) 
are pinging again.  Lou called the dorm, and people are using these 
machines, at least.

This may well be the result of some attack (incoming or outgoing...), 
and so it may return, but I don't see anything to be done at the 
moment.

trans-trb: The next time someone's in this area, can you reset this 
repeater and see if it comes back?  There are other repeaters over 
there that may be in the same state, since October:

*w51-030a-rep-1.  10/ 9 14:42  timeout       9/24 21:42- 9/24 21:42 unreachable
*w51-410t-rep-2.  10/ 9 13:45  timeout       9/24 21:42- 9/24 21:42 unreachable
*w51-410t-rep-3.  10/ 9 13:45  timeout       9/24 21:42- 9/24 21:42 unreachable

Thanks.
