Although not our problem, it does >affect us (and a lot of other sites as well). Interestingly, the first indication we got about a machine running LDM-6.0.[01] not being tenacious enough about reconnecting was at UQAM, and that was in its feed requests to vortex.esc. >The ldm server on >'striker.atmos.albany.edu', which is the source machine for the NLDN feed, >has been regularly crashing about once or twice a week ever since ldm6 was >installed on that server. Don't know if it is related or just >coincidence, but it wasn't doing this before. We have had no reports from SUNY Albany about problems running the LDM-6.0.1[01] on striker, so your report of a regular crash on it is news to us. re: feeding from atm >There is one problem with the feed from atm.geo.nsf.gov .

You are correct, atm was not requesting DIFAX. It is now. Cheers, Tom
