Thanks for your note, Pat.  Our IS people have really been burning the midnight oil for over a week working to recover communications after our ISP changeover. (Hopefully you understand the ramifications when the people and equipment that form our gateway to the wrold decide to go out of business and we have had to establish new support links.) Our IS folks have done a great job considering the challenges presented to them. We've had a couple of false starts as we work to get all the Domain Name Servers of the world to once again recognize who we are.

The TechNet appears to have started functioning again Monday afternoon. 

We'll continue to review the overall process.  As priorities permit we'll check our records to see if anyone has been automatically logged off due to excessive bounces and see what we can do to manually restore forum members.  Please share this word with any of your colleagues who may not be receiving forum postings.

Thanks for your patience and understanding--it's been frustrating for all of us.

Jack Crawford
IPC Director of Assembly Standards and Technology

Jack,

Is there a problem with the forum?  I have not received any mail since last 
Thursday from TechNet.  I am receiving other external mail though.

regards,

Pat
