My primary mail system is through Portal near Cupertino and of course
I had no sucess in reaching it this morning. Sprint just reports all
circuits busy.  AT&T alternates between all circuits busy and an
interesting message with words to the effect of "Due to the earthquake
in the area you are calling, your call could not be completed."

Early this morning calls were going through ok. I suppose as people
are waking up and trying to call friends, the system is jamming up.
