[net.news.config] duke downtime

dbl@duke.UUCP (01/24/84)

Duke will be going down this evening (Jan. 23) at around 7:00. This is due to
our continuing disk problems. We will probably be down for at least a full day.
Think of us kindly in your thoughts.......

  Duke will be down from 5:00 PM Thursday, February 2, until some time
Tuesday, February 7. This downtime is necessary due to the installation
of a new power transformer in our building, and continuing attempts to
diagnose and (hopefully, some day) fix our disk problems. The decvax-mcnc
link which was to have become the backbone connection for this area has
not been made yet due to problems at decvax and mcnc, so some interruption
in news traffic is possible. Mail should be re-routed through mcnc.

  Duke will go down Friday evening (3/2) for installation of a new
power transformer in the building (last time it was cancelled), return
to the airwaves briefly on Monday, then go back down again Tuesday
morning (3/6) for disk controller replacement. Since mcnc has assumed
most of the USENET backbone responsibilities, impact on the net should
be minimal. Adios.
