Hi,

You  know, this might be due to communications problems associated with
the tragedy at the World Trade Center.  There are a number of Internet
routers and communications facilities which have been affected.

Personally, I can reach it, but it might depend on your carrier.

Mike


PS. I am glad to volunteer my Unix/Solaris systems, networking and
administration services to anyone who might need assistance in the
coming days.  Please don't hesitate to contact me.  Having worked down
in the WTC area for many years, for all the people down there have given
to me, it's the least I can do to give back.
