FWIW - my attempts to direct dial in to DC and NYC around 10:30est today from here in Indiana all met with no success - some even got no error recordings - just silence, other met with "all circuits busy" recordings. However, an very helpful AT&T LD operator was able to get a call into DC for me just before 11am, but could not get a circuit into nyc. During the same period, i also received several calls out of both the NYC and DC area, so it appears that the "block inbound / allow outbound" restrictions that were described here earlier worked as intended.

Not too surprising really, considering the number of calls that are probably being attempted to try and check on loved ones, friends etc, not to mention what may be reserved or taken over for emergancy agencies and such to communicate. I've had a bit of trouble calling anywhere LD today as well. /Alexander Kiwerski -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf Of Joe Shaw Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 11:17 AM To: Marshall Eubanks Cc: Youse, Chuck; 'Nanog@Merit.

Attempts to make LD calls to non-NYC areas have gotten me all circuits busy. Anyone else? Regards, -- Joseph W. Shaw II Network Security Specialist/CCNA Unemployed. Will hack for food. God Bless.
