Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) regrets to announce that the electronic Miami University Directory (ph/qi) is presently out of service, due to a hardware malfunction on its host IBM RS/6000 (Ph.MUOhio.Edu) which occurred earlier today (Monday, 15 May 1995). IBM service personnel will be on Miami's Oxford campus Tuesday morning to assist MCIS Technical Support staff in correcting the hardware malfunction. It is hoped the electronic Miami University Directory will return to service possibly as early as late afternoon tomorrow (Tuesday, 16 May 1995). Effects of this unanticipated service outage include: * The Directory is not available for queries. (Mail address lookups on the IBM VM/CMS system, MiamiU, are affected.) * The Directory is not available for registration of preferred e-mail addresses. * Electronic mail to [log in to unmask] addresses is not being delivered, but is being queued for delivery as soon as the Directory returns to service. (The Directory redirects incoming e-mail to an individual's registered "preferred e-mail address.") MCIS very much regrets the inconveniences caused by this outage. Please direct questions to the MCIS Help Desk by electronic mail at [log in to unmask] / [log in to unmask] / [log in to unmask] or by telephone at 529-7900, and request that your message or call be queued to the CWIS Coordinator, John Harlan.
