Where *is* your Trailblazer? Is it hooked up? Have you tested it lately?
Do you have Taylor UUCP installed? Configured? Have peers?
No, but i have old drives full of uucp maps around. I'd start with those. And I'd use the terrestrial phone system to call up/figure out who's still out there (im friends/colleagues or know how to reach many of the people who ran my old peers). Once it became clear it was a long outtage, the effort required to get all this going again would be worth it. I have the tools around to make it happen, if I needed to, and I know several others who also do. (Maybe time to keep a copy of uu*.deb around though..) Oh whoops, except I have a dry copper loop in my house for my dsl. Dang nabbit. Stupid advancing technology. (During an internet outtage I wonder if new orders for POTS phone service would be quashed in the interest of 'public safety'... :) /kc -- Ken Chase - ken@heavycomputing.ca skype:kenchase23 +1 416 897 6284 Toronto Canada Heavy Computing - Clued bandwidth, colocation and managed linux VPS @151 Front St. W.
