	VOICE has temporarily lost it's server internet access.   This was not
entirely unexpected, and we were in the process of planning a switch over
to a new co-location site, but we weren't given the advanced notice we
were promised. For now all VOICE mail services, including the News and Help
lists may or may not work properly. FTP will _not_ work.

For web access to VOICE please use the mirror site at :
http://www.ibmforum.com/os2voice/  This site is current.
or you may access it directly at :
http://162.39.94.239

        We appologize for any inconvenience this may cause. As of 7pm yesterday (Sun, March 18) 
the os2voice.org website has been re-located to a new ip (see above). Currently the new DNS 
provider (walkabout.org) is pointing os2voice.org to that ip. The current DNS provider 
(rbdc.rbdc.com) as of this writing has _not_ changed their records. BMT-micro (the current 
DNS technical contact) has been alerted and is making changes as I type. VOICE1, the machine
will be on an airplane very shortly towards it's new destination. It should arrive at that 
location on Tuesday, March 20th. Barring _anymore_ unexpected problems VOICE1 should be back
in _full_ service by Wednesday, March 21. Let's give all the INTERNET infra-structure time to 
update with all this new information.
