> > ISPnet has scheduled the following maintenance window:

> >     Sat Aug 11 22:00 EDT - Sun	Aug 12 04:00 EDT

> > The work will be performed at ISPnet's primary Manhattan POP at
> > 85 Tenth Ave.

> > This work has the potential to affect all ISPnet customers,
> > whether they connect to ISPnet at this POP or at one of ISPnet's
> > other POPs.

> > We will be upgrading one of ISPnet's core switching units at 85
> > Tenth.  This switch is attached to DWDM channels on ISPnet's
> > dark-fiber backbone.

> > The redundant topology of our network should allow all user
> > traffic to "route around" any single component, such as the
> > switch we'll be replacing.

> > However, there may be one or more periods of routing instability
> > during which some customers will have temporary problems reaching
> > some portions of the internet.

> > The main purpose of the upgrade is to improve reliability and to
> > build capacity for future growth.

> > We regret the inconvenience, but the work is necessary.  We will,
> > of course, do everything possible to minimize the impact.

> > If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
> > email or phone.
