And several others talk about shutting off uucp links.

My reading of the articles in Communications Week and other places
which describe the planning the various phone companies have done and
the things they did during the earthquake make me believe that they
are better placed to control the situation.  Since we are talking
about a very small number of calls in the first place it really won't
make much difference in the load.  But I suppose that if you want to
feel like a hero there is nothing to stop you from closing down your
links.
