  SprintLink was upgraded their installation in Washington DC;
apparently without a hitch.  Hopefully we should see some improvement
in network reliabilty.  The fix was in the hardware.  The new
Gigaswitch is faster than the older switches.

sl-dc-6 and sl-dc-8 currently have a connection to
each of the Gigaswitches in the D.C. TOC.

All other sl-dc-*.sprintlink.net routers are currently
attached to two Cisco FDDI concentrators/hubs, each
of which connects to one Gigaswitch.

The FDDI in D.C. is working well now and we have
successfully tested various fail-over scenarios.

We are pleased to announce that yet another
SprintLink traffic bottleneck has been removed!

        Sean.
