Good news,
Things now seem to be back up & running fine (of course there -could- still
be further turbulence tonight).
I'll have to tune in to the local pair newsgroups later tonight to find out
exactly what transpired, but one thing I do know from looking at the server
logs is that lugnet.com either went down or was shut down at 10:00 pm EST
(about 1 hour ago) and came back up again at 10:45 pm EST.
So right now, the server says it's been up & awake for about 15-20 minutes.
(Prior to 10:00 tonight, it had been running continuously for ~190 days.)
10 people are now re-connected via NNTP and the HTTP server is running too.
So if there aren't any more network connection problems, everything should
be back to normal. I apologize if for any inconvenience this has caused.
