Thanks!


They're probably using them newfangled telephones.

Have they already reestablished phone service in the New Orleans
area?



One location reported their OC4 connection had been re-established.
There are
quite a few message boards with folks *from within N.O.*, apprently
posting
updates. If they have connectivity to the commidty internet, then
they
*should* have voice connectivity. At least, I would hope so...

Don't forget wireless solutions, like DirectWay. If you run
on a generator, satellite service is still operational, since
it's not reliant on cell towers, wifi locations, cable or phone
access.
