However, the current versions of the software installed in the MTACs and in the Monitoring Centers' C/70s allow only a limited MTAC monitoring and control capability. The software to allow the required MTAC monitoring and control capability is being developed. A new version of the MTAC software has been completed. However, the patches to interface the new MTAC software with the C/70s are still under development. The estimated completion date is July 1991. Until then, MTAC users should immediately notify their respective Monitoring Centers if they have suspected MTAC problems: CONUS Trouble Desk: 1(800)451-7413. 1(800)486-1986 (VA only) EUROPEAN Trouble Desk: 314-430-5532 (DSN) 011-49-711-687-7766 (commercial) PACIFIC Trouble Desk: 315-941-1156 (DSN) 1(808)656-1472 (commercial) For more information the POCs are: MILNET - Maj Tatchio, 222-7580 (DSN), (703)692-7580 (commercial), and E-Mail: milnetmgr @ DDN-CONUS.DDN.MIL DISNET - Gary Guiberson, 222-7582 (DSN), (703)692-7582 (commercial), and E-Mail: disnetmgr @ DDN-CONUS.DDN.MIL Software - D.W.
