the link from LaTrobe uni to uni of Melbourne died at 17:10 today.

None of their computer centre or comp sci modems are answering, so
I guess they've had some sort of power glitch with the current
electrical storms.

More news as it comes to hand...

Sure was a power failure :-)

The power loss also affected the main computer room airconditioning and
also put the main VAXcluster system disk into a bit of a spin.

As of 1200 today, all things in Computing Services should be back to normal
(I can't talk for Computer Science :-)
