[OPLINTECH] OPLIN Network Update

[Chad Neeper via OPLINTECH]

Cool news! Thanks for sharing that behind-the-curtain tidbit.

A 4 minute outage mostly likely due to human error?...sounds like somebody
unplugged something they shouldn't ought to have unplugged. I think we've
all probably been there at one time or another... LOL!
