Notice:
I've been getting messages from my Campbell-L digest telling me that
people are receiving multiple copies of the digest.  These are exactly the
same digest, just sent out at different times.  They have the same
Message-id header.  If you have been receiving more than one copy of your
digest, please let me know at gaunt@genealogy.org.  Thanks!

Hi, Folks,

I'm forwarding a message from Michael Cooley, the system administrator 
for Genealogy Online, concerning connectivity problems between Genealogy 
Online and the rest of the world.  I believe these problems (dropped 
packets in particular) are impacting messages sent from digest lists in 
particular, as these are larger.  (I'm hazy on exactly how messages are 
sent once they are in the queue to go out, but I do know that they are 
sent in packets of a set size, and that if a packet is dropped, the other 
computer responds with a "nak", meaning "I didn't get that, please 
resend", so the sender resends.  It is Global Center that is doing the 
resending, I believe.)

For the Campbell digest, I'd tried cutting the digest size in half.  This 
appears to have worked for a few, but others are still getting 
multiples.  :-(  If this is happening to you, and it is bothersome, my 
only suggestion at this point is to unsubscribe from the digest and 
subscribe to the regular list.

Subject: Access problems


	Genealogy Online gets its connectivity from zNET. Like all ISPs,
zNET pays a "backbone provider" for their connectivity to the Net. But
Global Center, one of zNET's backbones, has reached capacity on routers
coming into zNET and, thus, into Genealogy Online. The result is dropped
packets and slow access.

	Both myself and zNET have been in regular contact with Global
Center. They acknowledge the problem and say that they are installing new
equipment and moving much of the traffic off the affected routers. But
they've been saying this for a week. Finally, yesterday, someone at GC
admitted to me that they need to install new circuits, that those circuits
have been ordered but that it may be a month before that's done.

	zNET is actively searching for a new backbone provider. But that
requires the installation of a new circuit and may take another 2-4
weeks. The problem you may be experiencing with slow access and downloads
will be fixed once that change occurs, or once Global Center fixes the
problem. 

	Please understand that zNET's and Genealogy Online's equipment,
all of which is on this side of the bad GC routers, is running as well as
it ever has. (Indeed, a San Jose zNET user would have no problem at all
accessing GO, since s/he is on this side of Global Center.)  Additionally,
last Sunday, I added a faster processor, installed a new motherboard and
more memory on the web server, hoping that would improve access.
Apparently, it has not.  Unfortunately, there's not much more that can be
done but to "tough it out."
