Apparently last week's attempt to patch around one of the problems
in PSN 7.0, the problem being hanging X.25 virtual circuits originating
on 1822 hosts, has been removed.  At 1900 hours yesterday the problems
caused by the patch still plagued our gateway.  But, since approximately
0200 hours today, we have been able to maintain normal reachability with
our EGP peers.  I assume the change occured between those hours.  My
question is, did this occur on purpose or can I expect imminent
redisconnection?  As troublesome as the orignal problem in 7.0 is, it
doesn't compare to the troubles caused by "The Patch".

ps: I've certainly learned my lesson, I'll never mention the problem with
    7.0 again, please just don't disconnect me again.
