DEFENSE DATA NETWORK
MANAGEMENT BULLETIN
The DDN MANAGEMENT BULLETIN is distributed online by the DDN Network
Information Center under DISA contract as a means of communicating
official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.112.36.5]
using login="anonymous" and password="guest". The pathname
for bulletins is ddn-news/ddn-mgt-bulletin-nn.txt (where "nn" is the
bulletin number).

Subject: DDN 1-800 FTS 2000 Dial-In Service
REQUEST NODE SITE COORDINATORS AND HOST ADMINISTRATORS DISSEMINATE THIS
INFORMATION TO ALL THEIR DDN TAC USERS.
1. On 11 December 1993, the current DDN 1-800 FTS system will be cut
over to the FTS 2000 Integrated Customer Network.
2. The new system will retain 1-800 368-2217 as the number to
access the MILNET through the non-local TACS. PLEASE NOTE, the LOG IN
PROCEDURES for the new system will change. Under the current 1-800 TAC
system, which has 1200 bps modems, users begin their log-in process
with a <CONTROL> <Q> wake-up character. The new 1-800 TAC system will
have 9600 bps modems; thus, users must begin their log-in process with
a CARRIAGE RETURN, <Enter> key, for the wake-up character.
3. The dial-in access to the 1-800 TACS will improve, because of an
increase in the number of telephone lines and a new call routing
scheme. There will be fewer busy signals when users call the 1-800
TACS. However, users should not expect 9600 bps throughput on the new
system. At this time, DISA is investigating ways to increase throughput
with the use of MTAC and CISCO terminal server devices.
4. PLEASE ADVISE ALL TAC USERS AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE. THIS
PROCEDURAL CHANGE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE TAC USERS' ABILITY TO
ACCESS THE MILNET. USERS WHO POSSESS SCRIPT FILES TO ACCOMPLISH AN
AUTOMATIC LOG-IN WILL NEED TO CHANGE THEIR SCRIPTS.
5. If customers require additional service, the DDN Customer Help Desk
is available to provide assistance. The DDN Customer Help Desk can be
reached at the following numbers:
