for all incident watchers:
[Update 20/11/2002 12:30] At this moment the ICT-heart of the university of
Twente is burning. The so-called TWRC-building houses the central systems of
the university, all servers and PCs will be lost and various affiliated
institutes are without Internet connectivity.
[...]
Hosting and colo company Virtu, the neighbour of the university, has
provided an IP adress for the University. Further announcements are made
available on http://srv1ut.utwente.virtu.nl/, a abbreviated copy of the
university website.
[Update 12u30] Op dit moment brandt het ICT-hart van de Universiteit Twente
uit. Het zogeheten TWRC-gebouw huisvest het centrale net van de
universiteit, alle servers en pc's gaan verloren en diverse geaffilieerde
instellingen zitten zonder internetverbinding.
[...]
Hosting- en colocatieprovider Virtu, de fysiek buurman van de universiteit,
'heeft een machine en een IP-adres ter beschikking gesteld met medeweten en
op verzoek van de universiteit. Op deze wijze kan de UT toch mededeling
wereldkundig maken via het web', aldus een zegsman van Virtu. De site is een
gestripte kloon van www.Utwente.nl.

Besides that the University of Twente at Enschede (UTwente) and various
affiliated institutes lost many resources, SURFnet completely lost
their PoP in Enschede, inclusing 10 customer connections. All routing
and switching gear went up in flames.
Because of this the following institutions will not be reachable for
some time:
* University Twente (UTwente) (130.89.0.0/16)
* Saxion Hogeschool Enschede (145.76.0.0/16)
* Instituut voor Leerplanontwikkeling (SLO) (192.87.212.0/22)
* ITC Enschede (192.87.16.0/24,
192.87.172.0/24,
192.87.173.0/24,
192.87.174.0/24)
* Telematica Instituut (195.169.16.0/23)
* Open University Deventer (145.20.114.0/24,
145.20.77.0/24,
145.20.95.0/24)
* Open University Enschede (145.20.112.0/24,
145.20.75.0/24,
145.20.93.0/24)
UTwente has dedicated a new building for ICT, and in this building
the new SURFnet PoP will be built. New routing and switching gear
is on its way to Enschede now, and our infrastructure suppliers are
working hard to get our fiber and copper into the new building.
Our current expectation is to be up and running again before the
upcoming weekend starts.

The SURFnet PoP in Enschede was rebuild yesterday and today and
connectivity was established between the Enschede PoP and rest of
SURFnet at 10:30pm localtime (21:30 hrs UTC) on Thursday. Except
for the Saxion Hogeschool Enschede and Telematica Instituut all
connectivity to the customers has been restored. Connectivity with
the two remaining customers will be restored as soon as local loop
problems to these sites are fixed. This is expected on Friday or
shortly thereafter.
