How about colo and transit? I have a friend (and competitor in some niche hosting markets) in South Florida who appears to have been blown off the Net (Steven Willis deepskytech.com). I believe they are colo'ed in Ciberlynx's facility. It appears from here that their servers are down or unreachable, and their phones are all out. I wonder what condition the FL colo facilities are in? Anybody know what the situation is at Ciberlynx? Steven, if there is anything we can do to help, let me know. (I know I'd appreciate the same should we have a similar situation, though here it is earthquakes and/or volcanic eruption.) -- Chuck Goolsbee V.P.
