|Well, the admin folks haven't told you about this|yet, soo.....

|Since a large, nasty thunderstorm (rare in NJ), rutgers.edu and the
|rest of the RU machines have lost their sole link to the internet thru
|JVNC.
|Our arpa connection is already disconnected, and we don't have another
|connection to fall back on.  The damage was done on Tuesday night, and
|the last time the JVNC link was down, it was down for a month.
|This means no nntp news, and no internet mail thru rutgers.

AND... OH MY GOD!!!... no webber@athos.rutgers.edu!

(sorry, just too tempting.  Bob actually makes USENET interesting)
