I wonder how long Unicenter or whatever it's called would have taken to
even load the status page over a 56k. But ye very good time for it to
happen, as far as a complete network failure can be called a good time.
Have they told you when they plan to make their decision on this issue?
Jason.

Henrik have you had your meeting with the phbs about this yet?
I have, but nothing has been decided yet.
However, I am now certain that some deity has been busy working in
my favour. 5 minutes before the meeting ended, cell phones started
beeping around the meeting room - and this turned out to be the beginning of the biggest disruption of service our datacenter has ever had. Several events conspired against us, but the result was
a near 100% loss of all network connectivity on our core backbone
network, and to our Internet connectivity.
So I had lots of time to demonstrate - also to the PHB's - that
monitoring with a simple webpage works, even when you access it
over a 56 kbit dialup connection through a cell phone. I had quite an audience throughout the afternoon, evening and night.
So I think the odds are in my favour right now.
Regards,
Henrik
