I haven't seen anybody answer this, and while I suppose everybody
could call the BBN NOC and ask, that's probably not a useful way for
them to spend their time.  Therefore, for those who don't know but
want to, and for the record (archive)...

According to BBN ticket # 60414, the problem started at 03:27 UTC
(October 11, 1996).  As of October 12, 1996 01:54 UTC (the latest
entry on the ticket), BBN believes all affected customers should be
back online.  This is the last entry on the ticket as of now.
