[net.news.config] phri-pesnta link closing down

roy@phri.UUCP (Roy Smith) (01/17/86)

	Due to budgetary considerations (i.e. we got a whopping phone bill)
the phri-pesnta link is being shut down.  The plug will be pulled sometime
in the next few days.

	Phri can continue to be reached from allegra, cmcl2, philabs, and
an assortment of other local sites.  Pesnta can be reached through ihnp4,
amd, hplabs, etc.

Note that the site "amd" is effectively without an administrator,
with all that that means. For example, last time I looked, /dev/tty
was an ordinary file and all the dialers were broken. Consider this
a suggestion to route around it whenever possible.

	Well, it turns out that 1) the phone bill wasn't as bad as it first
seemed and 2) I've been able to convince the "people upstairs" to keep the
link open.  The bottom line is that phri-pesnta isn't dead yet.  Sorry for
the confusion.
