Just a quick note to let you know that we are experiencing a service
interruption today.  A major circuit which carries our internet service
was cut early this morning.  The location is near St. Louis and the
service outage is affecting many people in several states.  The break
was pinpointed at approximately 11:30 this morning and repair persons
have been dispatched to fix the problem.  This particular circuit is
fiber optic and carries a tremendous amount of traffic.  I have not been
given an eta on the repair time, but would guess that it will be at
least mid to late afternoon before it is repaired.  We apologize for the
inconvenience and want you to know that our backbone provider, worldcom,
is on top of the situation and doing all they can to get the repairs
done as quickly as possible.

Thanks,
