6/17/91 15:40 We have yelled at the power company as is appropriate at this point. It appears that one of our three phases is out. We have some lights in our offices, but the UPS isn't running well off only two. At this point we expect to be powering off most of the equipment within the next 45 minutes or so as it does not appear that power will be restored in time. At this point we have powered off all non-essential equipment. AC is also off but we appear to be okay in that regard, actually it looks like things will start to get hot at about the same time we run out of juice. This will take down all of the FIX East connections and any sites that are solely connected to the College Park NOC. All the rest of the SURAnet sites should remain reachable via the Atlanta NSS and the ESnet gateway at Florida State Univ. If anyone has any questions we can be reached at noc@sura.net for the next few minutes or at (301)982-3214. Thank you for your support. dave p.s. the Fuzzball was turned off a few minutes ago. We will send out another message when w start to shut down everything else.

Dave, Thanks for the headsup. Our fuzzbums cried when they lost their friends, but they quieted down about 22Z and now are snoozing like lambs. Dave
