Today's topics:
- ISDN supports 128K.
- Services during the weekend of 31/12 - 1/1/2000.


o ISDN:  We now support ISDN with 128K (two calls in  parallel).   There
  might be some edge cases where you get connected with two channels but
  can't work; in such a case wait a minute or  two  and  try  connecting
  again.  The reason for this is that the equipment manufacturer did not
  solve the problem yet, but with the help of Bezeq we managed to bypass
  the problem in most cases.


o Roll-over to year 2,000:  Most of our systems  will  be  left  working
  during  the weekend of 31/12/99-1/1/2000.  Only some of the Novell and
  NT servers will be brought down as a precaution step.  We expect  that
  the network, modems, VMS and Unix systems will operate as usual.
