Greetings,

As a reminder, tomorrow the service name "athena.dialup.mit.edu" will 
transition from the Sun Athena 9 machines to their Linux Debathena 
counterparts.  This change will happen between 8 and 9 AM tomorrow 
morning.  No downtime should result from this transition since we can 
change the resolver without affecting either the servers or existing login 
sessions.  This change will also affect the "ftp.dialup.mit.edu" name, 
which will also transition from the Suns to the Linux machines.

Again, the Sun Athena 9 servers will be available under the name 
"sun.dialup.mit.edu" until July 1st to allow people who have specific 
needs on the Suns to transition to Linux.  Please report any problems with 
the new dialup environment to bug-dialup@mit.edu.

Thank you,

-MM, IS&T Server Operations
