that the person who authored this article, as well as the authors of several responses, have no idea of how to monitor the reliability of a network connection. furthermore, for real-time procedures such as surgery, one would hope the hospitals would maintain their own private internet and not try to pipe data through a UUNET bottleneck. if it is me on the operating room table, i will foot the bill for the surgeon to be there in person.
