Due to PSN 105 hardware upgrade and the de-installation of PSN 144 at Offutt AFB, the Offutt Milnet DDN node will not be operational starting 0900 CST until at least 1500 CST on 9 Dec 91. As on any hardware upgrade, there is a possibility that the action will take longer than expected. This PSN provides 1-800 dial in service for a large geographic area, in order to continue to provide this service, DISA will request ATT to reroute all 1-800 Offutt traffic to nodes 124 and 147 at Wright Patterson AFB. The rerouting will stay in effect until the TAC at PSN 105 is operational. Once the TAC is operational, it will take ATT about one hour to change the routing back to Offutt. We anticipate a maximum time of three days (9 Dec through 11 Dec 91) that this rerouting may be required. Due to the amount of usage of the Offutt dial ins, Wright Patterson will have considerably more busy signals. Please bear with us during the upgrade, we will re-establish normal service as quickly as possible. 2. States being affected are: Normally served by OFFUTT Texas Kansas Colorado Missouri Wyoming Iowa South Dakota North Dakota Minnesota Wisconsin Nebraska Served by Wright Patterson Illinois Michigan Indiana Kentucky West Virginia Virginia Maryland Pennsylvania New York 3.
