I have just sent the following to Armando Stettner, network administrator
at decvax:

Subject: news and mail

All of a sudden, we aren't getting anything from you.  Our calls get
through ok, and traffic from us seems to get sent across all right,
but nothing comes back.  Even our regular loop-mail tests don't come
back.  Looks like trouble at your end.

I don't know what is going on.  Whatever it is, it started a day or
two ago.  We didn't have any substantial backlog at decvax at the time,
and our uucp has truly ridiculous timeout settings, so it doesn't look
like the well-known traffic-pileup-timeout problem.  Something is wrong
at decvax, I know not what.  Stay tuned.
