Networks and Y2K From: year2000.unt.edu ; Topic 11 (Infrastructure, PCs, & embedded systems); Conversation 4 on networks (you have to log in; but it is free). 15. Author: David C. Hall ( dhall ) Date: Nov. 11 12:16 AM 1997 Check out the article in Internet Week, issue of November 10, 1997, URL is www.techweb.com/se/directlink.cgi?INW19971110S0029. It discusses network gear vulnerable to Year 2000 problems. Basically it says that tests have shown that any network installed before 1996 will have problems. One vendor, Bell Atlantic Network Integration has a database of over 800 network devices that are vulnerable to Year 2000 problems. It also notes that they Yr2K-tested some token-ring bridges and that they just stopped delivering traffic. Dave Hall
