Subject: Bell Canada strike may affect some Ontario/Quebec sites

19,500 Bell Canada operators and repairpeople have been on strike
for a bit over a week, and no immediate end to the strike is in sight.
Bell Canada serves almost all of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec,
and handles all long-distance calling and Datapac communications as
well as local calls.

Management are handling repairs, but long-distance service
has been affected to some extent.  Any site in Ontario or
Quebec which communicates via local or long-distance phone
call or via X.25 could be cut off for indetefinite periods
at any time.  If you have problems connecting with such a
site, the problem may be related to the strike, and repairs
will undoubtedly take longer than normal.
