In the last week, Karl ("Mr. MCS") has posted, several times, that his
Sprintlink connection was inoperable. The most recent was last night (Sunday)
around 10-11:30 PM. He has indicated this caused various problems to MCS
users, despite having previously bragged about the redundant connections he
has.
Some providers are entirely, or nearly entirely, dependant upon Sprintlink.
Tezcat, for example. Have they experienced similar failures, or are the
problems Karl attributes to Sprintlink actually MCS failures accompanied by a
little finger pointing?
At Tezcat, as an example, I have not experienced these problems, nor have I
seen any complaints about them on the local tezcat.x newsgroups. That doesn't
mean, of course, that they haven't happened here.
Does anyone have any facts on this (unusual as a factual reply might be)?

sprint is karls favorite excuse about why his network sucks eggs. if
everything is going ok, he always likes to brag and brag about how many
different paths he has and that MCS doesnt rely on anyone. he would never
shut his ass up about Net 99 for example. but as soon as that dies down,
good old sprint shows up and down goes MCS! all of karl's talk is a crock
of shit. but i guess that goes to show that.....
MCS Net, the shit hole of the internet!
