Several of the NCAR machines normally reachable by email through HAO will be down for 4-6 weeks while the power and cooling systems in the machine room are completely redone to make way for the new CRAY XMP/48 machine scheduled to be delivered in mid-August of this year. Any mail to the following machines during the down time will be thrown on the floor: scd-sa scd-sb io AAP2 scdaw sa sb Those users on scd-sa and scd-sb who frequently receive mail from the outside have been given accounts on the "scdpyr" machine, so if you need to reach someone you normally reach via the path hao!scd-sa!user or hao!scd-sb!user, try hao!scdpyr!user instead. This should *not* affect access to the hao machine itself nor any of the following machines also normally reached via hao: hao hao-hw haovax hao-is acdpyr scdsw1 scdsw2 scdpyr rdss CSD MRS hw hv is acd scd This should also not affect access to the NCAR CSNET site (since that is really hao-hw anyway), except that certain aliases which used to refer to users on scd-sa and scd-sb have been removed (again, most of those who receive mail from the outside have been silently moved to scdpyr and had their aliases changed accordingly). Please see followup article about unrelated hardware changes going on in hao which MIGHT delay mail and/or news through the hao machine. --Greg (hao!postmaster) -- {ucbvax!hplabs | decvax!noao | mcvax!seismo | ihnp4!seismo} !hao!woods CSNET: woods@ncar.csnet ARPA: woods%ncar@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA "The darkness never goes, from some men's eyes"
