** OT * Mike, If I run PING and it tells me I am not losing any packets and the packet times are 200ms or so then I conclude that the network between me and SI is probably working ok. If I get no packet loss and 200ms avg delay and I am getting long delays when I request a page, I fire off a note to Jill or Brad at that point and they tell me if SI server is having a problem. If I'm getting packet losses or long delay times reported, I do the tracerte to see where in the chain of nodes the delay/loss may be occurring. Most times, it seems the mere act of banging (pinging or tracerteing) a node causes network fault detectors to go off and within minutes either the route has changed or the route delay has cleared up. If the losses/delays persist, I make a copy of the tracerte report and send it to my ISP and, if they can, they handle the network problem. This act also seems to make things clear up within a very few minutes. This may not be the 'official' techniques used by net wizards/technicians, but it seems to work for me. I also guess it is important to hear from other users to see if they are also getting delays... in this case of this past weekend, only some people were reporting long delays and others were reporting no problem at all. Ben A.

Java may drive Consumer Electronics networks techweb.com Consumer Vendors Set A Home-Network Agenda (05/26/98; 2:51 p.m. EST) By Junko Yoshida, EE Times Armed with a set of freshly minted home-networking application programming interfaces (APIs) for digital appliances, consumer-electronics giants are pushing to define their own architectural agenda for the home network, in hopes of gaining an edge on would-be competitors in the PC sector. The effort could bring Java deeper into the consumer space than it has ever been. Called the Home Audio-Video interoperability (HAVi) architecture, the specification from eight major consumer companies lets digital appliances designed by different manufacturers connect and interact over an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 1394-based link, with or without the presence of a PC.

Eventhough I expected a sharp correction of all high techs by the end of May (as expressed about a month ago) I never thought the correction would be more than 10% from the top. But it seems we are going through a 10%+ correction of Nasdaq. I have used up most of the cash I was planning to use to buy techs during this correction. But I have a feeling I could have waited a bit longer! Oh well... Things should be back up in a couple of months (if not sooner). The correction (IMHO of course) has been sharp and should end shortly. Regards, Addi Jamshidi
