Fellow CP/Mers - For nearly two months, the machine from which info-cpm is
distributed has been having hardware problems. These have been sporadic in
nature, with frequent crashes at times, and then "quiet periods" during which
the machine stayed up for several days. Things now seem to be building to
some sort of climax. So far today, the machine has crashed at least eight
times. With luck, the thing will go down and stay dead so that DEC maintenance
can find the problem. Without luck, we may limp along for weeks.
It is possible that mail processing will be noticeably slowed by these
frequent crashes. Please be patient if info-cpm traffic becomes erratic.
Those of us who are homed on this machine are just as unhappy about the
situation as you are.

Fellow CP/Mers - Until amsaa.arpa gets fixed, I suggest that all messages sent to info-cpm be addressed to "info-cpm@brl.arpa". That way, they will be immediately accepted by whichever local machine is currently answering to the net address "brl", and further delivery to amsaa will become our local affair. Such deliveries are attempted at ten-minute intervals. Dave towson@amsaa.arpa aka info-cpm-request
