Forwarded from Gary at WW, it looks like we shall be fine after all. Sorry for the undue messages. Macdonald ********** Hi all, We are up, after a short outage. Apparently Verizon has announced that they will not shut down Northpoint's lines in the New York-New Jersey area for now. (They had started shutting down lines here, but then restored them.) They are supposed to be keeping the lines up until Northpoint's customers can get alternate connections. For more details, if you are interested, see http://www.blythe.org/npt-update.html. This is the Web site for Blythe Systems, which is the U.S. distributor for Cuba's Prensa Latina and other Cuban news (as well as some other stuff). They are in pretty much the same situation we are in at WW. If Verizon gives us 30 days or so then there may be no disruption of any kind, though we have no reason to trust that Verizon will do that. But I think that the crisis is at least delayed if not over completely.
