FISHER@RPICICGE.BITNET ("John S. Fisher") (03/03/89)
The file server at RPICICGE has been having a bad streak of luck the last several weeks. Many more requests where coming in than could be handled, and all but requests for the smallest files were getting rejected. A recent change to the server itself and some on-going changes to the gateway from NYSERNET to the ARPANET have caused a noticable improvement. Most requests are now being handled first time whereas before they were being rejected every time. In addition, there is a completely identical server located at NDSUVM1, and it has apparently experienced fewer connectivity problems.... Regards, JSFisher Maintainer of LISTSERV@RPICICGE, et.al.
