The NSFNET link to the US over which UofT gets most of its news is down (no
estimated time to repair has been given). This will likely perturb normal
flow patterns (tsunami time :-)

So far I haven't seen anything come through the good ole UUCP backup feeds.
In any event, a reciprocal NNTP backup feed to Montreal over the RISQ-ONET
gateway is in the works (RISQ is Reseau Interordinateurs Scientifiques
Quebecois, and connects to the NYSERNET regional network), so we will get a
little better protection against news outages+surges on both regional nets.
