I post this for a friend who lives in "Ile de la Reunion" near Madagascar . He can't reach Lattice BBS (He has an account of course), and this for two weeks. Do they have any problems with the BBS at this time ? Any help or information is welcome. Please respond by e-mail. -- *- Francois Rouaix // When the going gets tough, * *- rouaix@inria.inria.fr \X/ the guru goes meditating... * *- SYSOP of Sgt. Flam's Lonely Amigas Club.

There was a fire in the Hinsdale, IL switching office of Illinois Bell on May 8th, which caused *severe* damage, and has impacted alot of telecom in and around the Chicago area. Also, they have had alot of stormy wheather with high electrical activity etc. in and around the area, so the lines have been "rather noisy". Anyway, I was also unable to reach their BBS for several consecutive days, getting an intercept recording instead. I did get through over this past weekend though, so perhaps Illinois Bell is getting their problems fixed. /kim -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,uunet,oliveb,cbosgd,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
