As luck would have it, it was the router through which we connect to UUNET and via them to the rest of the Internet. While the router was down it was impossible for BCPL.NET customers to access anything beyond BCPL.NET's own network. We were cut off from the rest of the world. Our connection to UUNET was down from 10:53 through Midnight. As of the time of this message our UUNET connection seems to be operating normally.
