As others have mentioned, and as I personally experienced, while the
central offices themselves may survive a Russkie nuke hit and keep running
for weeks, a hefty portion of even "regular" phone lines are served by
remote (off site) equipment. And these gizmos tend to only havebattery
backups good for only a few hours.

I wonder what would happen with my parents, out in an out-of-the-way part
of Geauga County, Ohio. The Alltel "CO" that serves their phone line seems to
simply be a box on the side of Route 86. The only true CO that I know of
in Geauga County that's owned by Alltel would be the one in Chardon.
Only a couple cellular carriers have good coverage out there. Actually there
are three - but in an emergency like this, I wonder how quickly the towers
would fill up.
I should probably ask them - they were without power at work in downtown
Cleveland, but I didn't find out what happened at the house. They are halfway
between Cleveland and Erie, PA and were well within range to have been
affected by the outage.

the blackout 2003 is a good thing because the system
needs to be tested now and then to fix it.

the blackout 2003 is a good thing because the system
needs to be tested now and then to fix it and the

sex in the dark with someone you don't know.
