[tech] RESNET link down

[David Adam]

It looks like RESNET's uplink (which you may know as the Bright link or 
the Silk link) is down pretty solidly now, so [TRS] has rerouted incoming 
mail to go via the UWA servers rather then over the uncharged link - this 
means we're paying money again but at least we're getting mail.

Direct outbound access to non-FREENETs sites is currently unavailable; you 
will need a UWA staff or student full-access account to reach outside 
sites. Outgoing mail still works.

SSH through ssh.ucc.asn.au is also offline. You are encouraged to use 
alternative options as detailed at http://ucc.asn.au/services/login.ucc - 
in addition, ssh-old.ucc.asn.au still works but you will be charged at 
6c/mb from your dispense account.

No news on an estimated fix time yet.
