- Folks,
-
- We are about to subnet venerable research net DCnet (128.4), which
- means we have to move off that naughty 128.4.0 segment to more
- civilized 128.4.n (n>0) numbers. That means erstwhile time server
- rackety.udel.edu aka dcn1.udel.edu will move from 128.4.0.1 to
- 128.4.1.1 and churchy.udel.edu aka dcn5.udel.edu will move from
- 128.4.0.5 to 128.4.1.5. This will happen on Monday, 17 August.
- I apologize for the short notice, but we gotta do this quick.
-
- The critters that lived on 128.4.0.1 (now an IPC) are a storied
- lot reaching back a dozen years spanning the birth and death of
- several glorious research networks and related projects. I am
- reluctant to abandon "subnet" 0, which was long in use in DCnet
- before declared uncivilized. If the darn Proteon gateways were
- less paranoid, I wouldn't have to do this.
