- UUNET's incoming news server, and host for 100 outgoing NNTP feeds,
- will be going down for emergency maintenance today at 2pm EST. I am
- very sorry for the short notice; a flakey ethernet card necessitates this.
-
- Unfortunately, at this time we have no idea how long it will take to
- fix the problem. I expect that the machine will be up and working for
- news service again within a couple of hours even if the interface has
- not been fully repaired. (There are two other interfaces on the machine.)
-
- No news will be lost and feeds from news1 and news2 (all uucp feeds
- and about 60 nntp feeds) will continue to run as long as they have
- some work to do.
