5.1Soapbox is MOVING!!ALPHAZ::HARNEYJohn A HarneyTue Dec 06 1994 15:4616
    SOAPBOX will be moving soon, most likely this weekend.

    The new host node will be BACK40:: instead of PEAR::.

    An empty notesfile will be created on PEAR with a pointer
    to the new notesfile, so nobody should get lost.

    If your system doesn't know about BACK40, whack your system manager.
    
    There will certainly be some hiccups while the new system has
    its expectations properly set about workloads, etc.

    SOAPBOX will also be available via TCP/IP at back40.zko.dec.com.

    Of course, as you know, Soapbox has moved.

    Just for the record, this is BACK40::SOAPBOX.NOTE
    BACK40 is 19621:: or 19.165

    Soapbox is now reachable via tcp/ip at
        soapbox@back40.zko.dec.com
    where back40.zko.dec.com is 16.32.0.42

    Since this is a new host, things might go wrong.  Please
    mail if you think you have some extraordinary problem.

    Soapbox will suffer a powerdown at 14:30 today, Thursday.

    It should be back up by 18:00.  

    If not, well, it might not be back up until after Christmas.

    ZKO is having another power shutdown.

    Starting at 17:00 to 20:00 on 30-Dec-1994, Soapbox
    will be unavailable. If things go wrong, it will not\
    be up until after the 1st.

    Just warning ya.

5.5Sorry for the service problems...ALPHAZ::HARNEYJohn A HarneyWed Jan 11 1995 13:5814
    TCP/IP notes access to back40.zko.dec.com has been disabled.

    This will not solve the dropped DECnet links that are occuring;
    that appears to be a ZKO network problem that is being worked.

    This MAY solve the "I can't get in" problem.  The problem is that
    all 5 allowed notes servers are classified as "full" (32 links)
    but there don't appear to be that many (160) links.  This only
    started happening when I enabled tcp/ip access.

    We'll revisit this problem in a week or so.

    \john
5.6Don't panic...ALPHAZ::HARNEYJohn A HarneyMon Jun 05 1995 17:417
    Soapbox was down for backup of the cluster's disks.

    It will probably be down tomorrow (Tuesday, 6 Jun) some
    as well.

    \john
5.7Seems OJ is being felt even here...ALPHAZ::HARNEYJohn A HarneyWed Oct 04 1995 16:486
    Soapbox is rather busy today; 126 links currently.

    Don't be surprised if you have some trouble getting in.

    The network in ZKO is sucking rocks.

    Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    It's taking about 2 miuntes to get keyboard response.  :-(
