>>NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB >> >>FASTER PAGES AT ROOTSWEB. As some folks may have noticed, access >>to <http://www.rootsweb.com> has been slower in recent weeks than >>it has been in the past. The reason is that so many genealogists >>are simultaneously using it that we are very nearly exceeding the >>amount of bandwidth we have available for transmitting Web pages >>through the Internet. >> >>To remedy that problem, RootsWeb has just signed a contract with >>Concentric.NET to obtain direct access to the Internet's >>backbone, and we will be moving the main Web server sometime >>within the next week. There will be about a four-hour downtime as >>we move the server. >> >>The great news is that this should allow us to serve pages as >>fast as the very best commercial sites on the Internet; the bad >>news is that this contract adds another $4,000 per month in >>expenses to our already extremely tight budget. >> Dr. Brian Leverich >> >> >>==== DABNEY Mailing List ==== >>To unsubscribe from this list: >>*Regular Mail Mode: send the unsubscribe command to this address: >><DABNEY-L-request@rootsweb.com> >>*Digest Mode: send the unsubscribe command to this address: >><DABNEY-D-request@rootsweb.com> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > >==== KYGEN Mailing List ==== >GenConnect Query System >http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/index.html > > >
