09/13/92 ENSS 136  College Park ,ENSS 145  Fix-East, and T1 Interconnect Routing Instability 09:36 - 11:26 EDT
Due to intermittent outages on one of our interior circuits (MCI Fiber Outage),
we experienced some routing instablilies.  This affected

ENSS 136  College Park
ENSS 145  Fix-East

as our interior backbone routes to these ASes were fluctuating.
All nets announced by the ENSS 136  College Park and ENSS 145  Fix-East
nodes were reachable via the T1 backbone during this time.

The Ann Arbor T1 Interconnect was also affected as the T1 interconnect 
became too busy to handle the updates resulting from the routing fluctuations.

Wes, You took the words staight out of my mouth. If you abuse a
priviledge and it is taken away by *due process* you almost have to 
expect a miracle to get them back. Assuming that the event was handled 
by the due process umbrella. According to the WSU department that
handled the case (SECURITY OFFICE) the user had to be really screwing up
and didn't take their warnings seriously.

Seriously, you can now send orders to the Kenny Roger's chicken folks
by fax (for me, it's just a matter of sending email on nucleus to the
FAX program.)  It's kinda fun, but it's probably not as
environmentally friendly.  They print the orders out on that thermal
fax paper, which is promptly trashed after the order is filled.

  going to wait a while before the acquire it. I've also heard the rumor

I'm a minor (15), and I was recently cought with 3 eights of marijuana on me, 
and i was wondering what type of sentence i am facing?  If you know of a 
better news group to post this to, I'd appreciate it also.  Should I get a 
lawyer or just stay with a court appointed attorney.  I've had a lawyer tell 
me he could get me off, but I would rather not spend $400...  I was charged 
with only possesion (not intent to sell).
On my record I already have retail fraud ][, and a curfew violation, so it is 
a first time drug offence.
The atened me that if I did not give him the bag, and if he found it, that he 
would hit me.. In my condition at the time I believed him, and therefore gave 
it to him... If I was straight I would have probably none better, but I've 
been told that this is assult and that I could have the charge against me 
dropped because of that.  Is this true, and if so, would I need a great lawyer 
to make sure the chargers are dropped?  I'd think that it wouldn't be that 
hard for a cop to lie about that... 

Thanks in advance..
