As some of you already have found out, Purdue's campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, has converted to domains. This is causing a considerable amount of havoc, some expected, and some quite novel and annoying. It seems the current state of affairs is that our main connection with Usenet, pur-ee (aka ee.ecn.purdue.edu) is not forwarding mail to any of the pucc-? hosts, such as pucc-j (aka j.cc.purdue.edu). It may not be forwarding mail to the CS department hosts (e.g. merlin.cs.purdue.edu); those hosts are readily identifiable by names from the Arthurian legends. We all seem to be able to send mail out (on Usenet and the Arpanet and so on) without too much trouble. We seem to be sending and receiving news correctly on most hosts; and distributions seem to be correct, after some initial craziness. However, the return address on our outgoing articles (such as this one) are likely to be brazen lies. FYI, here are some of the old and new host names; those omitted are similar. pur-ee ee.ecn.purdue.edu ecn-aa aa.ecn.purdue.edu ecn-ab ab.ecn.purdue.edu These are Engineering Computer Network hosts. ecn-ca ca.ecn.purdue.edu (etc.) pucc-h h.cc.purdue.edu pucc-i i.cc.purdue.edu These are Computing Center hosts. (etc.) purdue arthur.cs.purdue.edu cs-mordred mordred.cs.purdue.edu These are Computer Sciences hosts. cs-merlin merlin.cs.purdue.edu (etc.) -- Rich Kulawiec, pucc-j!rsk, rsk@j.cc.purdue.edu
