Possible impending disaster: As some of you may know, the US Govt in its
|
|
finite wisdom has decided to stop supporting the Arpanet. MIT's IMPs (the
|
|
packet-switching machines which heretofore have served as our connection to
|
|
the Arpanet) are expected to be turned off tomorrow. Some efforts have
|
|
been made to replace the cross-country Arpanet functions by tying various
|
|
local-area nets together; such connections do exist for MIT. However, we
|
|
can't guarantee how well this will work initially; we expect the new
|
|
connection system to require some time to undergo shakedown, and mail
|
|
service will probably go haywire during this period. Please bear with us
|
|
in our time of trial.
