POWER FAILURE TAKES SYSTEM DOWN
-------------------------------
On Friday, December 6, 1996, at about 10:30 AM, the local Baltimore Gas &
Electric Company substation failed, blacking out our section of Towson and
taking down our network and dialup access.  Power was restored at about
12:20 PM, and most of our network (including dialup service)  was back in
operation by about 12:30 PM.
