Laurent deSeze <BABS@FRSAC11.BITNET>
In the end of January (27 to 31 ?) the line CNUSC-Montpellier to
CUNY-USA was out of order. The second week-end of February (9 to 11)
CUNY stopped all its IBM mainframes for upgrade. No problem, or may be
daily life on any net. The problem is that I am still receiving
messages posted in the USA between the Jan 15 and Jan 30 (I can send a
copy of these one-month-in-late messages to EARN managers, if they need
evidence). Two weeks ago I was answered by JL Delhaye that all this
troubles were due to the fact that in the end of January CUNY send to
Europe magnetics tapes with unprocessed spooled messages. Well, it
seems that all this bottleneck *is* still in processing. This brings me
to the question of whether we should have an information on this kind of
long troubles distributed to NADs. Another point is - have we enough
bandwidth on Atlantic line (the bottleneck decreases *very* slowly) ?
Is EARN-BitNet still reliable network ? Anyway, I consider that
distributing a clear information is better that keeping users in the
dark and letting them discover by themselves that EARN-BitNet network
can deliver mails with one month of delay.
