Date: 13 Aug 1995 04:32:59 GMT Organization: UC Berkeley Society of Electrical Engineers Lines: 16 Message-ID: <40jv9r$sph@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ucsee.eecs.berkeley.edu Often I find sup.netbsd.org (sun-lamp.pc.cs.cmu.edu) unavailable. When I do a traceroute, it stops one hop before sun-lamp itself, so I assume this is a problem with the machine going down and not with the net between here and Carnegie Mellon. This is *very* irritating because I have a 9600 bps PPP connection, and it has gone down several times *in the middle of sup transfers*. What's up with this? Will it be fixed soon? And is there an alternate sup server I could be using to get the latest -current sources?
