As alluded to in an earlier mailing to some people, I warned about spectrix leaving the net. Now I can broadcast this and give a few more details: 1) Spectrix has decided to cease to exist, and has sold the useable pieces ("businesses", not "boards"). 2) Spectrix is *not* going bankrupt. Actually, the investors got bored. 3) Spectrix Field Support and Maintenance will be resurrected by some other company. However, nobody's yet told *us* who is picking up the contracts. 4) Spectrix will cease to exist UUCP-wise sometime Thursday June 30th. 5) I'm not one of the "useable pieces" ;-) Nor are most of the other people here - we've been terminated as of June 30. However, most of the "unuseable pieces" will be resurrecting *themselves* at a new location July 4th - independence day. [Including myself] However, net access to the new system will probably lag by a couple of weeks. Mail for me can be addressed to clewis@lsuc after June 30th until I can the new system all linked up. -- Chris Lewis, These addresses will last only til June 30: (clewis@lsuc afterwards) UUCP: {uunet!mnetor, utcsri!utzoo, lsuc, yunexus}!spectrix!clewis Moderator of the Ferret Mailing List (ferret-list,ferret-request@spectrix)

Boy oh boy did I goof... Thru some sort of major confusion I posted a message that Spectrix would be leaving the net. That isn't the case - Spectrix has not ceased to exist and will continue on the net. Sorry for the major confusion. #include "special disclaimer": Spectrix is pleased to announce that I am not their official spokesman. -- Chris Lewis, UUCP: {uunet!mnetor, utcsri!utzoo, lsuc, yunexus}!spectrix!clewis
