- The host machine for the Info-Stratus mailing list, MIKE.LRC.EDU, will
- undergo some changes in its configuration in the near future.
-
- An attempt will be made this weekend to upgrade the mail-transfer-agent
- software. We shall try to minimize impact on the mailing list and on
- the news/mail gateway, but odd behavior may show up anyway. We believe
- that this upgrade will repair the mail-based archive and file servers.
-
- Also, the regional TCP/IP network in North Carolina is undergoing
- reconfiguration. Sometime within the next few weeks, the Internet
- Protocol (IP) address of MIKE.LRC.EDU will be changed. Again, we
- shall try to minimize impact on Info-Stratus, but there may be some
- finite period of confusion in the various network name servers around
- the globe. It is possible that some Info-Stratus mail could fail to
- be delivered during the confusion, and some articles might not be
- properly gatewayed to "comp.sys.stratus". Please bear with us.
-
- Further off is a possible upgrade to the TCP/IP software on MIKE.LRC.EDU.
- In theory, such an upgrade will be have no effect on the mailing list or
- on the mail/news gateway. In theory. :-)
-
- We all owe thanks to David Link, the system manager at LRC, who keeps
- the machine healthy.
