The outage continues as I write this at 2:45 PM. We don't have detailed information at this time, but there appears to have been a major telecommunications failure affecting Internet access and some long-distance phone service in the entire north-eastern United States. It's a regional problem, not a BCPL.NET problem. I'll post details and updates when/if they become available. Stay tuned. Chip -- BCPL.NET INTERNET SERVICES 320 York Road Towson, MD 21204-5179 U.S.A.
