UNIX HOST LOST ITS MEMORY
-------------------------
Our Sun SPARC 1000 UNIX host (mail.bcpl.net) has lost half of its RAM,
reducing available RAM to 128 MB.  This may sound like a lot to most PC
and Mac users, but on a UNIX computer handling the kind of load ours does
it is a crippling malfunction.

We expect a technician from Sun Microsystems to be on site tomorrow
(Friday, Sep 4) to work on the SPARC 1000.  In the mean time, you should
expect poor response time during PPP logins, Unix logins, mail sends and
receives, DNS lookups, browsing of Web pages hosted on our server, and in
dozens of other services provided by the SPARC 1000.

We regret the inconvenience, and hope the SPARC 1000 will be back to
normal soon.
