BTW, those were OC48's, not OC148's, that were in trouble (typo on my part).

I am starting to see large amounts of routing problem reports, on the AT&T
network and BGP route flapping. This can indeed cause intermittant and
sporadic connections that you are seeing. Specifically, the old IBM network
(AT&T global) is having problems due to a router software upgrade which AT&T
is currently in the process of backing out. However, due to the nature of
BGP, it may take some time to stabilize after the core problem is fixed.
BTW, I'm seeing sporadic connections all over the place, since Saturday
morning.
