          The Chigaco area -- where the authentication occurs on 56k/ISDN
          lines -- is getting hit hard by wind storms and power outages at
          the moment (with another storm on the way, it turns out), and a
          problem with authentication for ISDN and Dual-56k subscribers was
          caused by this.  Servers are up on generators at the moment, and
          the radius for these dual-channel accounts was just now rebooted
          to return this authentication.  Things should be back up. 
          
          Our own servers here in Seattle were not affected by this, only
          the dialup and authentication for ISDN/Dual-56k users.
          
          I'll keep an eye on the status of the storm, too.

             Problem: Power Outage
             Location: Global
             Time: 17:34   5/18/2000   CST
             Status: ONGOING 
             Situation: Commercial power is still out at our main facility.  All
             servers and services will continue to run indefinitely on Battery and
             Generator power.
             A second severe storm cell is headed towards our location. We will
             continue to monitor the weather and will post an update in the event
             that it may cause any further disruptions to our facility.
             At this time all servers are fully operational and are expected to
             continue operations un-interrupted.
          
          
             Problem: Power Outage   
             Location: Global
             Time: 16:45   5/18/2000   CST
             Status: ONGOING
             Situation: Commercial power is still out at our main facility in
             Palatine, IL. All servers and services are running on battery and  
             generator power at this time, and will continue to do so until
             commercial power is restored.
             The phone system has been restored to service.
             No service interruptions ( Radius, DNS, WWW, Email, etc.) were
             experienced due to this power outage, and none are expected due to the
             Generator and Battery backup systems.
             Updates will be posted here as the situation warrants.
