Greetings again, all.
This change went into effect this morning without incident. Given the
relative silence from the user community, which is actively using the new
systems, I'm declaring this change a cautious success.
Please report any issues that arise with the new dialup systems to
bug-dialup@MIT.EDU.
Thanks!

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
