We seem to have it ready to try again, so we're scheduling nsc to be down
between 7am Friday 9/20 and monday morning so we move all of our stuff over
to a 785. When we come back up we'll be running (mostly) BRL 4.2 and news
2.10.3Beta, but everything should be transparent to the outside world by
the time we hook the machines back up to the phones.
By the way, I'm VERY impressed with 2.10.3 -- it is by far the most stable
version of news I've seen. When it gets out of beta site, you'd be stupid
not to upgrade.... (*hint*)

(*hint*) Two questions: (a) When? (b) Why do I keep remembering that a prominent network personality (not Chuqui) told us that 4.2BSD was going to be solid as a rock? -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry

An automatic flame generator, perhaps, that would send mail to the administrator of a machine running news versions <2.10.2 - obviously it would have to leave alone people running notesfiles and other systems, but there's people out there running *ANCIENT* stuff!. -- ## Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs
