From: "Robert (Al) Hartshorn" TECHNION BITNET> Date: 13 may 1990 Subject: Link Failure Welcome to all, For the information of this list, there will be the following link failures: 1) 18 May, 20:00 GMT till 21 May, 04:00 GMT, 2) 22 May, 06:00 GMT till 22 May, 07:00 GMT. The reasons are as follows: 1) FRMOP22 will upgrade their IBM 3090 400 to an IBM 3090 60E and at the same time, there will be a system operating change from MVS/XA to MVS/ESA. As this is the only Bitnet link to Israel, the link protocal has already been tested and there should be no problems. This work is being done over a weekend. 2) In order for the complete Israel-net to work better, we are changing our routing protocal from RIP to IGRP. As this change needs to be made at 7 sites, the complete network should be back up within a hour. As I feel that it is easier for each of you to convert GMT to your local time, then to figure the difference between my local time and your local time, I have given all time as GMT. If I am notefied of any link failure that will cut SHOGI-L off from the world, I will post it to the list. If it is the consensus of this list to continue providing this type of information, I shell do so. Regards, Al Shogi-l list co-owner
