News News                                           [Problem] 2002-03-07
---------
We have finally gotten word as to what has happened to the news. We
are told that the old hardware was not coping (as many have noticed),
and finally exausted completely it's disk space. Word is that it was
taken down and a new server is being built for it with vastly expanded
disk space and processing power. Word also has it that this should be
done by now: but it doesn't seem to be. Keep trying. Sorry for the
delay, but hopefully when all is said and done news will be more
reliable in general here for a while (though even with our periodic
problems, I think many agree that we are connected to one of the best
news servers around), and it will have been worth the wait.



News Again?                                          [Notice] 2002-03-12
-----------
It seems we have news back. One of our helpful and observant users
noticed that one of the hosts we share the news server with was up.
Looking into that we find that the IP seems to have been changed, but
no one informed us. So we have now changed the news.vex.net IP to the
one we found, and news seems to be connecting again...
