o Internet2 lines: The Israeli universities are now in the process of
connecting to the "next generation Internet" which comprises of
"Internet2" sites in USA and "Quantum" network in Europe. The idea is
to have fast lines to research networks which are connected to these
projects. For this purpose, a 34Mb/sec line has been installed to
Europe, and a 45Mb link will be installed by the end of the month to
USA. Most of the bandwidth is allocated to projects that got
approval, and only part of it is used for the "commodity Internet".
If you have an approved project with a European insititute then you
are welcome to start it.
A more detailed message will follow soon; hence, if you need more
details then please wait for it.
o Mail left on server: As we asked at the previous post, people tick
the "Leave mail on server" in Netscape/Eudora/IE and the mail is
filling our disks. Please note that when this option is ticked, when
you delete a message *it is not deleted* from the server. You have to
explicitly telnet to it and remove the messages. We strongly advise
you to do it once in a while, or simply remove the tag next to "Keep
messages on server" (but you still need to clean once the accumulated
mail).
If you need the instructions how to clean the accumulated messages on
VMS or POB then please Email mailto:advice@vms.huji.ac.il.
