It was routine for Jerrys system to go down for extended periods of time, even when he was in the TLH Z1B mesh and when he was linked to just John, John used to call me up and ask me if I knew anything, of course I could only confirm things.. Then Jerry would kick the box and the floodgates would open. This has been par for the course for him for nearly 2 years, where have you been? However on the *C side of things, I will not pull a node number over what may appear to be a hardware failure, thats kicking a man when he is down.. DR> I would have advised his *C. That was NOT the situation and Jerry DR> stated that he would advise the people that needed to know.
