I was tryig to renew my Driver's License. While waiting to be called I was reading the Red Book. More specifically the section about networking framework. When I was finally called, the whole computer system went down, and I was told to come back the next day. I was told today that the computer system will be out for at least one week, the problem with their network has been extremely bad. What I think about this: Probably their network and operating system was not a FreeBSD and so kneeled down before it's Master. :^) Cheers, Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 ( Job ) jonny@cisi.coppe.ufrj.br Network Manager UFRJ/COPPE/CISI Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
