We're trying to figure out how long BBN's been down, are you talking 12:30am PDT? If so, then they been down 16 hours. I started seeing mail failures to Stanford (a big BBN site) at 9:33am PDT and first got email about the problem from another ISP at around 11am.

I haven't seen anybody answer this, and while I suppose everybody could call the BBN NOC and ask, that's probably not a useful way for them to spend their time. Therefore, for those who don't know but want to, and for the record (archive)... According to BBN ticket # 60414, the problem started at 03:27 UTC (October 11, 1996). As of October 12, 1996 01:54 UTC (the latest entry on the ticket), BBN believes all affected customers should be back online. This is the last entry on the ticket as of now. _ | | |-| | |pu <apu@spfld.com>
