After this date the directory containing RFCs and IENs, Network News, Protocols, and other files of network interest; and services such as NIC/Query and the WHOIS server and data base will only be accessible on SRI-NIC. (PLEASE NOTE: This host is on a high-numbered IMP. Unfortunately, those of you who are on machines which have not fully implemented 96-bit leaders will be unable to reach the NIC. All I can suggest is that you complain to your local systems programmer. I have pleaded with my Project Monitor for a low-numbered IMP to no avail!) We also have a new direct-dial phone number - (415) 859-3695. The NIC gets a large volume of network mail. In the past most of it has been directed to FEINLER@SRI-KL. From now on we would like to ask any of you sending mail to the NIC to address it to.....NIC@SRI-NIC. This will keep me from being a bottleneck, and hopefully will expedite handling of bugs and requests for documents or information. Mail sent to SRI-KL will be forwarded for a brief interim period. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the NIC staff. These are the people behind NIC@SRI-NIC: Mary Dyer - Technical editor Ken Harrenstien - Systems programmer Hal Huntley - Technical editor Johanna Landsbergen (Jojo) - Programming assistant Francine Perillo - Library assistant Glenn Sherwood - Consultant Vic White - Systems programmer We hope you will bear with us as we settle into our new 'digs', and please contact us if we can be of service to you. Regards, Elizabeth Feinler, Mgr. Network Information Center P.S. Please don't try to use SRI-NIC before June 24th. -------
