osu-cis, the 3B2/400 which does anonymous UUCP source things, has been having a lot of trouble lately with kernel table overflows of a variety of sorts, notably his file table, due to an apparent sudden increase in demand for access. He was finally reconfig'd this morning for much larger table sizes and so shouldn't go catatonic in the midst of UUCP conversations any more as has been the case for a while. Also, Ohio State's connection to the Internet (an NSFNet link) has had some really evil gateway routing problems a hop or two away from here, and as a result we can't see or be seen by a fairly hefty fraction of the rest of the Internet. Theories exist that the matter should clear up in the next day or two. In the meantime, our mailq is getting long and a lot of mail Elsewhere is no doubt timing out due to failures to find us. Sorry for the trouble - the problem is being resolved as quickly as possible. (This latter problem was exacerbated greatly by the loss last week of our ARPANet link, PSN29 [10.0.0.29], an early casualty in the DARPA folks' "dismantling.") --Karl
