From: Will Martin <wmartin@BRL-TGR.ARPA> NOTE: Please redistribute this message to any hosts or organizations which might have a need to know this information. Host ALMSA-1, the main mail-handling machine for the Automated Logistics Management Systems Activity, part of the US Army Materiel Command, in St. Louis MO, and a mail-relay machine for cluster computers at AVSCOM (the Aviation Systems Command) has been isolated from the MILNET since Wednesday, 27 March 85, due to a failure of the telecommunications line linking this machine with the network connection hardware, located in another part of St. Louis, MO. AT&T have been working on correcting this problem. We had hoped it would be solved by now, but as of this writing, it has not. Therefore, I am sending out this notice from an account on another host. Any mail you have queued for delivery to host ALMSA-1 will probably begin to generate error messages back to the sender by now. If it is possible for you to hold this mail for a longer-than-normal period in your output queues, so it will not be lost, we would appreciate it. While we hope we will be back on-line shortly, we have no definite idea as to when the problem will be fixed. William Martin Host Administrator, ALMSA-1 USAMC ALMSA
