What timezone did you say you were in again?
Ah; didn't realize you wanted the exact time, not just a date! :-)
Well, according to this:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/museum/ddn-news/ddn-news.n19.1
it was _planned_ to happen at "00:01 (EST) 1 Jan 1983". Whether it did happen
at that moment, or if in reality there was some variance, I don't know (IIRC,
I was off sailing in the Caribbean when it actually happened :-).

Heidi Heiden...now there's a name I've not heard in many a year, Noel.
I don't know if it got shut off right at midnight on Jan 1, but it certainly
was pretty close to that time. Oddly enough as time went on we started to
get link 0 messages again. We didn't have anything set up to process
them, but we did print a message when it happened.

I don't remember it as being a huge event. As Noel said most people had
cut over to TCP by then.
People were much more spooked by Y2K a few years later.
