[comp.text.tex] Service interruption this Friday

bed_gdg@SHSU.EDU ("George D. Greenwade") (06/27/91)

Administrivia (once again):

This Friday, June 28, 1991, we will be taking the entire SHSU cluster on
the BITNET side down as we unplug our trusty 8650 (which has been a real
workhorse) and our now-sooo-slow 11/785 (it used to be a marvel, but...)
and replace them with a brand-spanking-new 6420.  While Computer Services
crates and uncrates their toys (errr, hardware), they will be upgrading our
MultiNet TCP/IP software to version 3.0, so the Internet side of our
cluster will also be down.  Accordingly, neither mail nor ftp service will
be available at our site from early on Friday morning (Central Daylight
Time, U.S.) until late that day (don't know the precise times).

While posts to INFO-TeX and file requests to FILESERV are never
discouraged, we do ask that you please consider this, preferably minimizing
your posts to SHSU.BITNET and SHSU.edu that day.  I trust everything will
be queued appropriately, but really don't want to think about the
implications of a huge backlog of work when the new machine comes on-line.

Regards and thanks for your interest in our services,   George
