SAIX International Dead?

[rpm]

Melville, JHB: International dead.

Same with you guys?

 

[ettubrute]

Nope! Although I'm not sure what backbone my client is connected to, I suspect it's a leased line to teklom... thus SAIX, and international is fine!

Gmail is working on and off... I would die without it!!!

Fortunately... you can still get Gmail on your cellphone...

go to http://m.gmail.com/ on your cellphone...

if that does not work.. then go to the normal gmail page..

http://www.gmail.com/

Did you guys know you can also get Instant Messaging in your cellphone...

I would also die without that...

go to http://www.mxit.co.za/beta on your cellphone and download the Mxit software for Instant Messaging

yeah... still no luck here... maybe you just hit one of the Intl sites that are working... there are a few of them... but it's still "mostly dead" (cf... The Princess Bride)
