Hello,

Concerning the move by our regional provider ... the move is still in
process.  At 6:00am this morning (October 1, 1999) the move started.

At present, Fri Oct  1 10:42:01 CDT 1999 ... they are still working
on rebuilding their infrastructure.  We are as suprized by the length
of the move as you all are.  So far, we have not been able to get in
touch with ANYONE from the regional provider and know only that which
we can determine from our own network investigations.  We have seen
certain paths internal to the regional provider open up in the last
half hour, so progress of some sort is happening.

Once the move is completed, all services will be back to normal.

At present, e-mail is out-bound only ... and will be stored on our
servers until the move completes.  All inbound mail will be stored
by the respective servers at the origination points.

Web browsing beyond OMNIport.net and all those sites hosted by OMNIport
is currently out and will be restored when the move completes.

We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused all of you,
however we have no control over their systems.

Thank you for your patience,
OMNIport Technical Support
