The OARnet Support Center reports that one of OARnet's Network News Transfer
Protocol (NNTP) servers, ODIN, will be taken offline for about three hours
this Thursday evening, 13 June 1996, from 5pm to approximately 8pm, for
diagnostics.
 
As our Internet Service Provider (ISP), OARnet provides Miami's primary NetNews
newsfeed.  OARnet has multiple NNTP server machines, and it is possible this
partial service outage at their end will have no substantive or visible effect
at our end.  However, on the off chance it will, that effect will be a delay in
Miami's receipt of new incoming NetNews newsgroup articles from the outside
world as well as a similar delay in our postings reaching the outside world.
 
Forewarned is forearmed -- even in nothing happens :-)
