Whenever I see one of these "the Intartubes are broke" things in
Internet email, I am reminded of an event eons ago when I answered an
alarm on a TJ Radio station (Microwave link) order wire to discover that
it was the PBX repairman at the distant end announcing that pursuant to
Circuit Order mumble he had shut down the station there.

I had to convince him that the order wire rode the radio link, and that
the battery pack in the radio case would keep the station on the air for
quite a while after the plug had been pulled from the wall socket.

I was sitting down at the IETF yesterday, obviously bored. Then the
wireless went down.

I was considering emailing to outages@
