Network Solutions has decided to filter our CIDR addr, 169.132 / 16
since about 5 PM yesterday from reaching the internic. Below is
a forwarded copy of email exchange between myself, and MCI --
It appears that there is no backup routing engineer at the Internic
which troubles me greatly. MCI has been attempting to contact them
every 30 minutes since yesterday to no avail.
This is the second time in a month or so that this has happened.
Since I was unable to contact Mark Kosters, I felt it might be
helpful to contact Kim Hubbard - To my dismay, she refused to
acknowledge our problem and hung up on me with an attitude. <sigh>
For the record, I did not refuse to acknowledge your problem. I refused
to acknowledge your wild accusations that Network Solutions was purposely
singling out your network number for filtering. You refused to
acknowledge that there could be any other possible reason for your
problem.
Also, I did not hang up on you, with or without an attitude.

You forgot to point out that his evidence below indicates that this is
an MCI problem in Washington. Besides the fact that Network Solutions
isn't anyone's provider...
