There was a brief network outage this morning that impacted much of the University network causing inability to reach the Internet for several minutes. The cause appears to be related to a software problem with optical equipment in Orono. Services have been restored, and work to further assess and address the primary cause is under way. More information will be provided as it becomes available. Thank you. -- Networkmaine NOC University of Maine System Maine School and Library Network (207) 581-3587 [log in to unmask]
