The Internet was designed to withstand a nuclear attack, so here is an idea if the telephone companies go down from Y too Kay.

Cheeky.... How do most people actually access the internet?? A modem, right??

What is that modem connected to??

Sorry, unless you have a direct connect to an internet gateway, the odds are funphone or Net2phone, or NetMeeting will prove extraneous.

Now do I expect the phone grid to go down?? Not really.. but its possible.

However, in that case, I imagine I'll be otherwise occupied and won't have the time to make calls... :0)

Btw, yes.. the internet was designed to withstand a nuclear attack of a limited sort, not an all-out attack.
