I have a Sprint PCS phone, all calls dialed left me with a fast busy
(when I could get carrier) until about about 30 minutes ago.
Now it rings but I get disconnected when the call tries to connect.
Land lines are still working fine, from my perspective. I just spoke
with my brother in Lacy, WA (about 15 miles from epicenter) in a different
area code, so that looks good.
I was also on the phone with someone in San Franciso during the event,
and the line stayed on.

We have circuits to UUNet, C&W and Zocalo. We did not see any outage
during the event, and packets are still flowing fine.
The freeways around here are another story though...
