Something really net.weird is going on today, but I don't see special
notices at Pair yet:
http://support.pair.com/notices/
What I'm seeing when I look inward from the outside is lots and lots of
packet drops and broken connections. Yesterday was bad too, but today is
really terrible. It doesn't appear to be a server thing; the server is
purring along moderatly as usual.
As far as I can tell, it's some sort of ISP networking traffic thing...?
Pinging www.lugnet.com reports "Request timed out" at the sames times that
pinging www.pair.com reports the same, while pinging other sites like
www.yahoo.com and www.netscape.com report normal replies. What do you see
when you ping?
Whatever it is, it's something that's not affecting some people but not
everyone, since there is plenty of activity going on (according to the
various logs).
I wonder if an internal or external line to/from Pair broke or is acting
flaky? IIRC, something semi-similar to this happened about a year ago when
a Cisco router at Pair suffered a hardware failure.

p.s. HTTP, unlike NNTP, is stateless, so it's a lot easier for NNTP
connections to drop and cause headaches than HTTP. Your web browser might
also have higher TCP/IP timeouts or latency tolerances than your newsreader.
