Back issues may be read through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.112.36.5] using login="anonymous" and password="guest".

Now that the mailbridge at PSN 246 and CISCO IPR at Ft Detrick are operational, DISA is relocating the mailbridge at PSN 17 to Andrews AFB, PSN 67. The new mailbridge address is 26.1.0.67. It should become effective on 22/Feb/92 during the early afternoon. All gateways or hosts using 26.20.0.17 as their primary or secondary mailbridge, i.e., source of external gateway protocol (EGP) updates, should convert to the 26.1.0.67 mailbridge. 2. This does not affect the NSFNET gateway addresses. The FIX-East gateway into NSFNET remains 26.29.0.54. The FIX-West NSFNET gateway remains 26.20.0.16. Any gateways or hosts using a default route for FIX-EAST should already be using 26.29.0.54. 3. All gateways and hosts converting to 26.1.0.67 should verify proper operations on Monday, 24/Feb/92. If DISA has installation problems, we will announce that ASAP. However, all gateways and hosts using the new address should be prepared to use their secondary mailbridge if required. 4. MAILBRIDGES provide either full updates or limited updates. Currently, full updates are provided by the following: BMILAMES (26.20.0.16) BMILMITR (26.20.0.17) and BMILRAND (26.1.0.51) The following mailbridges provide limited updates: BMILRICH (26.3.0.246) BMILISI (26.6.0.103) BMILDCEC (26.21.0.104) BMILOAK (26.1.0.148) As soon as it is operational, BMILANDW (26.1.0.67) will provide full updates. Gateway or host administrators who are uncertain whether their systems should receive full or limited updates should contact the CONUS MILNET Monitoring center at the number(s) given in paragraph 5 for assistance. 4. DISA POC is Ted A. Tatchio, DDN MILNET Manager, DSN 222-7580, commercial (703)692-7580, e-mail address: milnetmgr@ddn-conus.ddn.mil. Host and gateway administrators experiencing problems with the new address (26.1.0.67) should initially contact the CONUS Monitoring Center, commercial 1-800-451-7413, or DSN 222-2268, or DSN 222-5726. All other questions or comments should be directed to Maj. Tatchio.
