Howdy list,

This Friday (8/24/01), our ListServ system (Gerry) will be down from about
5:00PM to approx midnite so that the server can be backed up and relocated
back to my home office in Silver Spring. Depending on how quickly your ISP
picks up the DNS updates, you may be unable to get to the server for up to
36 hours after the move (worst case).

Now that I have a DSL line back up and running, it's time for Gerry to come
home with me. Having Gerry in the home office will also make it easier for
me to administer and update the server (donations page is *way* out of
date). It will also make it possible for me to replace Gerry's hardware in
the next few weeks.

You may remember that back in March, Gerry disappeared from the 'net when
Northpoint's DSL network went dark. Since then, he has been graciously
hosted on my employer's network. It might be nice for you to send a "thanks"
message to my boss, Ed Woods (ewoods@terpsys.com) if you get a chance.

The only downside of this relocation is that whenever it rains *really* hard
in Silver Spring, there is a chance for my DSL to go down for 12 hours or
so. So, until I get the "local loop" issues resolved, if you can't get to
Gerry check the Weather Channel!

Thanks,

Tom Carrington
