Internet Clean-up

ATTENTION

It's that time again!

As many of you know,each year the internet must be shut down for 24 hours in order to allow us to clean it.The cleaning process,which eliminates dead email and inactive ftp,www and gopher sites, allows for a better working and faster internet.

In order to protect your valuable data from deletion we ask that you do the following:

1.Disconnect all terminals and local area networks from their internet connections.
2 Shut down all internet servers or disconnect them form the internet.
3 Disconnect all disks and hardrives from any connections to the internet.
4.Refrain from connection any computer to the internet in any way.

Once the internet has been cleaned out you will notice a increase in speed.

We thank you for your cooperation.
