Our phones here at the office went down last Friday at about 2:30 and are still down. Found out that due to the rain and a car hitting something, a main trunk line is down because it was flooded. Apparently, it is a 3600 twisted pair (3600 phone line) segment. AT&T has been working around the clock through the weekend - I spoke with the guys working on it last night (if you see the right lane of eastbound MacArthur closed between Bristol and Main - now you know what it is about).
Yesterday went out and bought a Go Phone for $30.00 and are having our phones forwarded to it. I also set up an eFax number (along with a dummy GMail account) to cover faxes. We sent out a broadcast email Monday morning to all of our contacts Friday morning.
Hopefully everything is back up later today or tomorrow at the latest.
Oddly, we still have internet, even though our fax line (which is the carrier line for our DSL) is down.
So much fun
