...has a scan on a Linux kernel reported the uptime? I have been having _extreme_ difficulty reaching www.bigpond.com for a number of days, and from a number of sites, over a variety of comms media. So much so that I ran an nmap scan on the site and, surprise, surprise, this is what I got back. It's nice to see that they are running Linux, but the revelation of the uptime I find disturbing.
