With the laying-off of the last user of Usenet machine "qplx", the shutdown program was run and the plug pulled for the last time. The machine, a Plexus P-25, was put into a storage closet, and the hardware and software maintenance agreements have been cancelled. Look for a "for sale" posting soon. This site, qantel, is currently the only MDS Qantel Unix machine on the Usenet. qplx was the first. It will be missed. A moment of silence is in order... Okay, you can hit "n" now.
