Site "attctc" is no longer with us. The management at ATT decided without
warning to remove it from service.
Site "texbell" crashed on Friday. It should be back in service as you read
this.
The Texas uucpmaps will be updated to refect the absence of "attctc" as
a valid site.

Dollars to donuts this is related to the stolen 911 source code investigation. This seems to be spreading... -- Stephen J.

Uh, not really. Glombed from comp.dcom.telcom... The news on the street is that there is more to the Jolnet stink than has been previously revealed -- We're told by a deep-throat type that AT&T is on the war path about their software, and that 3b2 people in particular are targeted for 'counseling' and whatever corrective action is deemed necessary by 'the authorities'. So the story on the street goes, another prominent netter was arrested just recently by the same friendly folks who shut down Jolnet not long ago. Like jolnet, netsys went down abruptly, with *everything* confiscated, including a box of old busted up circuit boards in the basement which hadn't been looked at in years. Now comes news that attcdc, formerly known as killer went off line in a hurry..... When 'the authorities' come a-calling, with warrant in hand, and their credentials in order, they start looking for Mother's source code; 3b2 stuff and the like, and they keep looking until they find it. Jolnet ===> netsys ===> attcdc (killer) ===> your 3b2 site name here. Seems it is not a good idea to be a public access UNIX system nowadays.... -randy -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us

Let's hear it for network cooperation and supportiveness. I suppose most of the managements whose budgets pay for uucp-net operation don't really understand what the community is like. David Dick
