The following has been received from Bushey. May I suggest you do not send any mail outside this network from late Friday 6th until Monday morning, when the services should be up and running again. On Saturday, 7th June 1986, air conditioning maintenance will be carried out on the Bushey site. The expected time to perform this maintenance is 24 hours, from 08.00 hrs Saturday to 08.00hrs Sunday UK time. As we will be without air-conditioning for such prolonged period, we will have to shutdown our network communications equipment whilst the maintenance is carried out. Therefore the following services provided by International Network Services will not be available during this time: Internetwork Routing Service - IRS from Bushey Data network into the IDC mainframe - there will not be any mainframe service Data Network to Xerox Webster - Timesharing (TIMS) and XPN Hermes - Rank Xerox private Telex Network Intelnet - Rank Xerox private Telephone Network Please let me know if you any any problems or queries regarding the above. I also learned yesterday that Aylesbury Ethernet connections will not be available for some time. No date has yet been given when all will be well again. This will also affect communications with Mitcheldean and anyone needing information from File Drawers in Mitcheldean is advised to arrange for it to be put to floppy and moved physically between sites.
