email outage update

Turns out I've not been able to *receive* email either since sometime yesterday. This sucks. If anyone has sent me anything -- did you get a bounce message?

I've just now changed the forwarding on my pobox.com email address to somewhere I can at least read mail. Please continue using my pobox address.

What happened to The World

www.world.std.com is back up, though incoming and outgoing email are still down, 48 hours and counting.

There's an "Important System News" link on their front page from Friday that explains that contract negotiations with their upstream provider broke down, and they anticipated "brief, intermittent, service interruptions" starting from 6pm Sunday.

Very amusingly, the link to "Customer Help" on the front page brings up an error page saying, "You don't have permission to access /help/ on this server."

I've sent a query to netspace.org asking if they support various command-line things I want. I'll check out panix too. Any other recommandations? (Yes, no need for dialup, just shell.)
