TELECOM Moderator <telecom@eecs.nwu.edu> (12/05/89)
I want to publicly extend my thanks to Chip Rosenthal who assisted with the comp.dcom.telecom gateway for over a year during my tenure as moderator of this Digest. About a month ago, I received a note from Chip saying that his circumstances were changing at his place of employment, and that it would be necessary to make some changes in the gateway between the Digest and Usenet, which was until that time being administered at 'vector', a well-connected site in Dallas, Texas. Arrangements were made to handle the gateway from here in Evanston on the accuvax. We were not ready to go at the end of November, and Chip graciously assisted for a few more days from his new location, 'chinacat.lonestar.com'. I appreciate his tireless efforts; particularly his work in writing software which completely automated the gateway while he was managing it. He expects to re-locate at his new permanent base of operations within about a month or two. The cutover was made this past weekend, and not without some fumbles, for which I take the entire blame. For your records, should you wish to correspond with him, his address is 'chip@chinacat.lonestar.org'. Again, thanks! Patrick Townson
