Suggestion: you (and everyone else who's ever in your position at a Large Networking Conference) should *run a netops blog, and make sure it's well publicized in the week leading up to the conference -- and at registration*. Or, even, run a Twitter account to which people can subscribe from their cellphones via SMS, on which you announce problems and fixes. Communications, *way* ahead of the curve, ameliorates the impact of this sort of problems remarkably. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
