- The gateway for Finland's connection to the Internet (in Norway or
- Sweden, I believe) is down for repairs or somesuch. This obviously
- has effects on those of us on this side of the world (well, anywhere
- outside of Finland itself, I guess) and access to those sites.
-
- It's just a temporary thing, like a day or so. For more details, read
- Timo Salmi's post in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives about
- garbo.uwasa.fi being unavailable - same reason.

- (Now that someone brings this up, I realize where my usual flood of
- mailing list mail went today - it's holed up in Finland. :)
