Apparently Duke's network issues were not the result of the iPhone's flooding the network as originally reported last week. Duke is now reporting that it was a Cisco networking issue that caused the problem but provided no futher details as to the nature of the problem. It would seem that Duke may be a little sensitive to all the brouhaha created by the initial report, especially as it seems it had nothing to do with the iPhone after all. - Nemo *News Editor*
"A two-sentence e-mail from a Cisco PR spokeswoman to Network World confirmed the problem was caused by a "Cisco-based network issue." "Cisco has provided a fix that has been applied to Duke's network and the problem has not occurred since," according to the e-mail. No other details were provided, and no reply has been received yet to an e-mail and two phone requests to Cisco for more details. No additional details have been provided by Duke University or by Apple."
