  Connie,

  Prof. Duvvuru Sriram had a workstation deployed to him many months ago.

  Model:  VSII
  Location: m1-253a
 
  The cluster manager is Mauricio Daher, (x-7259).  He said he had a drop,
  yet he was having network problems with the system.  When Lenny and I went
  to check out this problem, we discovered many odd things.

  1.)  The drop that he was talking about was hooked up by him -and we don't
      know where it came from or how it works.

  2.)   He has NOT put in a request for a Name and Address. 
      Currently, the system is called "caes-p", obviously a recycled 
      print-server re-deployed.
        He would like the system to be called:  m1-253-1

   It was clear that neither Lenny nor I could help his workstation
   get on the net- and the way in which he "rigged" up the system drop-wise
   did not look like he followed the standard Athena procedures (ie, 
   notifying Telecomm).

    I think he should be contacted to clarify these problems.

    thanks,
    rita
