Subject: AMSAA is temporarily in netmail limbo:

Fellow CP/Mers - After a LONG wait for new network access hardware, AMSAA.ARPA
(the machine from which info-cpm is distributed) is now on the BRL fiber-optic
ring-net with a new net address, 192.5.24.10.  Unfortunately, at this time
it's a case of "close-but-no-cigar" because the network host tables have not
been updated yet; that should happen soon.  The old net interface still works,
and still answers to the old net address, 128.20.3.1, but only if it is
plugged-in, which at this moment it is not.  Therefore, incoming mail may be
sporadically rejected for a day or two longer.  But once the new net address
is propagated, AMSAA should settle down to being on the net 24 hours a day
like in the "good old days" before lightening zapped the network interface.

     Just a little longer, folks...
