INTERNET CONNECTION DOWN
------------------------
Shortly after 10:00 PM Friday night we lost our connection to the rest of
the Internet.  UUNET (the supplier of that connection) informs us that the
point of presence through which we are connected has suffered a power
outage. The problem is being worked on, and UUNET expects their POP to be
back up very soon.
 
Until the problem is corrected you can connect via modem to BCPL and can
access resources on the BCPL network, but attempts to connect from BCPL to
remote sites on the Internet will fail.  E-Mail for non-BCPL addresses
will be queued on our server, and E-mail from elsewhere destined for BCPL
addresses will be queued by a mail exchanger at UUNET.  All queued e-mail
will be delivered when the connection is restored.
 
If you have questions about this or anything else pertaining to your BCPL
Internet account, please contact the BCPL Help Desk by phone (887-3297,
FAX (887-2091), or e-mail (oz@mail.bcpl.lib.md.us).
