Hi all,
This is a reminder.  The change is happening next week.

The CDL mainframe server is being upgraded with new network connection
technology designed to improve response time, stability.  This upgrade will
change our IP address for telnet and Z39.50 access.  It should not impact
users of our web services.

If you use domain names, e.g., dbs.cdlib.org or melvyl.ucop.edu, to access
our CDL-hosted databases via telnet or Z39.50, then this change will be
transparent. If you must use numeric addresses, then you will need to
change the numeric address from 128.48.141.7 to our new address,
128.48.140.10 when we make the cut-over.

Our cut-over date is March 20 at 5:30 am.  If there are any changes to this
date we will notify you via this list.

If you experience connection problems after this date, please check with
your local library systems or computer support staff.  If they cannot
assist you in resolving the problem, call the CDL Helpline at (510) 987-0555.

Please share this information with your colleagues.
