AT&T says that its long distance network is intact, but that there was
some equipment damage to its local service in New York. Traffic volume
is way up, and there is significant congestion on the East Coast.
"To keep as many circuits available as possible for emergency
calling, AT&T is asking that customers and employees hold
off on non-essential calls into the emergency areas until
the situation stabilizes."
