Sounds like a bad one, thanks for the tip. Did you have any damage?

Are you within local calling distance of NYC? If so, might I ask
if you could just dial the number on your phone (far enough away from
your ear so as not to hurt it if it works, of course)? (212) 359-2000
seems to be the main number.
I'm still getting "all circuits are busy" from the operator...
of course, if it was a really bad storm, I guess they could be out
for a few days.
I suppose I could always recommend a prepaid dialup service to
the said friend; it seems like too much trouble to subscribe to a
normal service for only a short period of time (mostly because of the
"fun" of trying to cancel services :-)). Then again, the
worthwhileness of dial-up at all is something I'd have to wonder
about anymore, but it works as a stopgap I suppose.
Thanks again.
-Tim
