I'm thrilled at this news so wanted to share it. I'm hoping
this will encourage more people in the NFB to at least consider
running linux.

We have acquired some new equipment and software for NFB NET. It is a Sun Cobalt RaQ 550 server, which is a Linux=-based server appliance. The hardware is installed and over the next few weeks, myself and a consultant who has worked with me for four years, will be transferring the lists, web site etc.
This system means some new features I can't talk about yet. It also eventually means virus scanning of all messages, and better anti-spam protection. If there are features on the web Lite you would like to see, let me know. I can't make any promises, but looking for ideas.
It also means that our Telnet and dial-up BBS services are going to be dropped. I am sorry to those people who still use them, however, the number is quite small.
If you have any questions, let me know. I hope the interruptions are minimal, but don't completely know at this time.
David Andrews, SysOp
