The Newcastle Local Area Network was hit by a number of major equipment
failures in the early hours of this morning. As far as I can tell, parts of
it are still out of action, and I have no way of knowing whether the info
server is accessible at the moment. I don't have any email facilities either.

If you don't get a reply from the server please don't send any more requests.
I will give the all clear in due course. Thanks.
