On Sunday, Monday and part of Tuesday, there were some difficulties with
the Telecom Digest re-director.
John Levine, a friend of many years of the Digest has since the start
of the web back in 1994 served as 'webmaster' and been in charge of
re-directing calls to the URL 'http://telecom-digest.org'. One of his
computers receives all incoming calls to the Digest web site, and
points, or re-directs those calls to our REAL home, which is at
http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/telecom-archives. John said the computer
which does that job (not only for me, but apparently other web sites
as well) crashed, went dead, and refused to answer any calls. I found
out about this Sunday night, and notified John in email. The answer I
got from John was that he is in Quebec all this week, but he wold get
someone else to reboot the computer. Nothing happened all day Monday,
but I was busy with some other work and did not notice it until late
Monday night. I sent him a reminder request, and he responded early
Tuesday saying the computer was apparently dead.
Again, I spent all day Tuesday doing flood relief work here in
Independence and did not worry about the Digest. Now I get home
this evening and note that the re-director is again working as it
should. A note from John indicated that:
> if you get this message then my band-aids worked.
So indeed, it seems they did work. *Thank you, John.* So as just a
reminder to all of you, the _preferred_ address to reach the Digest
is http://telecom-digest.org but in the event that address draws a
blank (as in cannot find the page; or address does not resolve or some
similar kind of stalling, then feel free to use the alternate address
(and my real home) which is http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/telecom-archives
which is a 'direct address' at MIT to reach me. All that happens with
http://telecom-digest.org (or .com or .net) is that you are
transparently re-routed over to massis.lcs.mit.edu and the
telecom-archives directory therein. Please make a note of this in the
event you get stalled again for some reason. Right now, the outbound
mailing list is not working correctly. Thanks.
