ACCESS SERVER REBOOT, 3:00 AM WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 3
--------------------------------------------------
All seven of the access servers used by BCPL Internet customers (dialup-1
through dialup-7) and the access server used by BCPL staff (staffdial) 
will be rebooted between 3:00 AM and 3:10 AM on the morning of Wednesday,
December 3.  If you are connected via the customer dialup number
(410-296-5500) or the staff dialup number at that time, your connection
will be dropped.  Please wait until 3:15 AM before attempting to
reconnect. 

Like any computer, access servers need to be rebooted occasionally in
order to clear out virtual cobwebs.  We find that once per month is about
right for our access servers.  If they go longer between reboots we begin
to experience reduced connection reliability.

We're sorry if this interrupts anyone's early morning Internet surfing.
We chose 3:00 AM as the time least likely to find many customers on
line, but there are bound to be a few night owls connected at that time.
