There was a fire in the Hinsdale, IL switching office of Illinois Bell on
May 8th, which caused *severe* damage, and has impacted alot of telecom
in and around the Chicago area.

Also, they have had alot of stormy wheather with high electrical activity
etc. in and around the area, so the lines have been "rather noisy".

Anyway, I was also unable to reach their BBS for several consecutive days,
getting an intercept recording instead.  I did get through over this past
weekend though, so perhaps Illinois Bell is getting their problems fixed.
