I remember the mainframe being "stuck" with a severity 1 incident report as being "unavailable for work". Why was it unavailable? Because the LAN routers took a hit. When we complained that the problem was not in the mainframe, we were told "It doesn't matter, the users couldn't use it. The reason is irrelevant." Basically, the PWBs wanted to give the impression "up stairs" that the mainframe was no more reliable than anything else. -- Klein bottle for rent -- inquire within.
