I became aware of it at about 10:00 PM, and brought it back up at 10:30 PM. During the three hours and fifteen minutes MAIL.BCPL.NET was down there was no access to e-mail, no access to the BCPL.NET Web site or customers' Web sites, and any attempts to establish new modem connections failed. Sorry about the interruption to service. Luckily it happened late on a Sunday, when there aren't usually very many people using the system.
