Scheduled Maintenance Planned for 9/8/99

   DataXchange, ACE InfoSystems' ISP,  has scheduled an emergency maintenance
window for tomorrow, September 8, 1999, at their Mae-East co-locate facility.
The window has been scheduled with MCI/WorldCom between 5:00am and 6:00am
eastern time, with the outage itself lasting no longer then 30 minutes.

These steps are being taken in response to unacceptable amounts of downtime
over the Labor Day weekend.  WorldCom's Magnum routers, which route our
traffic through Mae-east, became dangerously unstable over the holiday
weekend, and caused our peering sessions to repeatedly fail.  This 
has made it impossible for our customers to reach many sites hosted
on the Exodus Network ( such as Ebay, GeoCities, and Egghead Computers ).    
All attempts to solve the ongoing problem without additional downtime
have failed.

Index

Outage - Worldcom: 08/06/99 through ???

   MCI/Worldcomm is experiencing major problems with it's frame relay cloud.
There is currently no ETA for restoral.  If you can, see 
DataExchange Network Status for more details.

Index

Outage - Worldcom: 05/06/99

   We were notified today that the circuit was down for a period of time due
due to a Worldcom problem in Santa Clara. 

Index

System Down - corrupt file in OS: 04/27/99

   Our system was down today from shortly after 2pm to about 5:30pm due to
a corrupt file in our communication server's operating system. 

Index

Bad Power Supply - Email Problems: 03/25/99

   The cooling fan in the power supply on one of our servers failed today
affecting email and web hosting for some of our customers.  The power
supply has been replaced and the server is once again back on line. Thank
you for your patience.

Index

Power Outage causes DNS problems: 01/15/99

   An ice storm in the East Coast has caused a wide spread power outage that
resulted in DNS problems.  They are dilligently working on the problem.  You
may TEMPORARILY use the IP address of 198.6.1.1 for your DNS until they come
back up which should occur within the next couple of hours.

Index

Slow response, Timeouts: 11/23/98

   A ticket has been placed with Worldcom today in an attempt to determine
the cause of sluggish responses and network timouts which we have experienced
off and on for the last couple of days.  This will probably result in them
having to take the circuit down while they test.  With any luck we will have
the situation resolved soon.

Index

PPP Authentication Rejects: 10/22/98

   We have experienced some authenticaton problems these last couple of
days we believe related to a software upgrade.  This causes random logon
problems and occasionally reboots our communications server, effectively
knocking everyone offline.  We should have the problems fixed shortly.
Sorry for the inconvenience.   

Index

Modem V.90 Firmware Released: 9/11/98

   We've installed the Released firmware to support 56K V.90 connections.
Support for K56Flex is also maintained.  Check your connect speeds.

Index

Modem Beta V.90 Firmware: 8/24/98

   We've installed new beta firmware to support 56K V.90 connections.
Support for K56Flex is also maintained.  Check your connect speeds.

Index

PG&E Power Outage: 8/24/98

   PG&E had a power outage affecting most of Tracy today sometime around
4pm.  Service was restored at approximately 6:45pm.

Index

Rollback v.90 Beta Code: 7/24/98

   We've had to roll back our beta modem firmware to a pre v.90 state due to
problems it had associated with connecting to non-56k modems.  Lucent
Technologies, the maker of our modem hardware, expects to have revised code
released soon.  If you have K56flex modems or non-56k modems, you should
not be affected by this roll back.  If you have been connecting with USR
(3com) X2 modems in v.90 mode, then your connections will be 33.6kbps or
slower.  Please hang in there just a bit longer...

Index

Connect Rates: 7/7/98

   Calling 833-0291 no longer connects to the BBS machine, but is
answered by a terminal server.  If you connect via PPP or SLIP, you are
then routed from the terminal server directly to the internet.  If you
connect via a terminal program, you are telnetted into the bbs.  I'm not
sure what the 9600 baud rate represents (in the # userlist) since if I
telnet in from work my telnet connect rate is 38400.

   Only callers that are telnetted into the bbs are shown on the #
userlist.  Callers that connect via PPP or SLIP are currently not shown.

   Also, the BBS does not allow users that are telnetted in - to telnet
back out.  Since calling 833-0291 in terminal mode now telnets to the
BBS, attempting to telnet back to the bbs will fail.

   The bbs # userlist is no longer a reliable way to determine connect
rates.  At this point, it may be a good idea to take it off the menu to
help eliminate confusion.

56K Modem Rack ONLINE!: 7/7/98

We are NOW ONLINE with our 56K MODEM RACK!!!

We are currently running beta v.90 code.  The released v.90 code should
be implemented, hopefully, by the end of July.  The modems are made by
Multitech contain the Lucent Technologies chipset.  They are also K56flex
backwards compatable.

We are aware of some compatability problems with the beta v.90 code when
using modems with a Rockwell chipset, and trying to connect in v.90
mode.  These same Rockwell modems will connect fine in K56flex mode.

Our first known 56K user has connected to us at a respectable 48Kbps.
He's using a Zoom PCI 56K FaxModem.   Yahoo!!

Index

56K Circut Cutover Status: 7/2/98

   As suspected, we did encounter some problems getting the new PRI circuit
up and running correclty.  During the last couple of days, the system has
been up and down quite a bit.  We feel fairly sure that we have the worst
behind us at this point.  If you are having problems getting your slip
script to work, give us a call at 833-1696.   Thanks.

Index

56K Circut Cutover: 6/26/98

   On Tuesday June 30th, our cut to 56K architechure  take place!!!
Following the cut, we will support 56K v.90, K56flex, ISDN, and Multilink
PPP.  This allows the bonding of two 56k/ISDN channels for greater
throughput.

   As most of you know, we have been trying to prepare you for the upcoming
cutover to 56K technology.  Bulletins regarding this event have been posted
on our web site ( www.aceinfo.com/domain/bulletin.htm ) for the last couple
of months.  Most of our subscribers will be unaffected by this change, those
using PPP and using our main phone number 833-0291.  Only the 833-0291 number
will be in service after the cut.  If you are using SLIP, we have recommended
changing to PPP well in advance of the cut.  After the cut, SLIP scripts will
need to be modified to reflect the new login routine.

   We hope to have a smooth transition.  Having said that, it's best to plan
for the worst.  It's possible that we could be partly/fully out of service
sometime between JUNE 29th - JULY 1st, inclusive.

   Thanks for your patience thought this exciting transition.

Channel Bank Down: 6/10/98

   The piece of equipment that provides dial tone to our modem bank is down
due to a defective power supply.  A replacement has been ordered and will
arrive tomarrow 7/11.  This will affect all of our dial in customers.  Web
pages and email messages are not affected during this period.  Sorry for the
inconvenience folks.

Index

Web/Email Server Outage: 6/06/98

   The hard disk containing our web server software and email server
software that services our domain customers had to be restored today.  The
drive containing the actual web pages was ok did not have to be restored.

Index

Testing New Hayes S/RAS: 5/28/98

   If you experienced intermittent problems today it is probably due to the
testing of our new Hayes S/RAS.  This infrastructure allows for 56KFlex
connections to the Internet.  Within a month or so, v.90 upgrades will be
installed.  I'm not sure whether the upgrade, when available,  will allow
for backwards compatability with 56KFlex or not.  WE WILL PROBABLY NEED TO
BRING THE SYSTEM UP AND DOWN SPORADICALLY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  We still
have several issues to work out.  Our objective is to provide faster
connections.  Unfortunately, we will have to forfit a few seldom used
features for this to work.  Our game server will be perminately offline.
And serial terminal sessions into our system BBS is no longer supported.
Once connected via PPP, however, one can telnet to our system if desired.
Another options is the java terminal available from our web page.  Please
read the next message for more information.

Modem Upgrades SLIP/PPP: 02/29/98

Hello All.

   In an attempt to better serve you, we will soon be upgrading our modem
pool to all 56KFlex modems.  At the same time, we will also start using
terminal servers to provide our slip & ppp protocol support.

   It is quite probable that at that time, callers using scripts (slip users)
will be unable to connect due to changes to the logon procedure.  You may
choose to modify the script at that time, but this could result in a
temporary service disruption.  For that reason, we would like to encourage
you to upgrade your protocol to ppp with PAP as soon as possible.  Taking
this action should better allow you to be prepared for this infrastructure
improvement which will be scheduled as soon as possible.

   Also, please make sure that you have configured your dial in number as
833-0291.  After the conversion has occured, this will be the only number
available.

   Should you have any questions about this procedure, please don't hesitate
to call me at 833-1696.  If I'm unavailable, leave a message and I will get
back to you as soon as I can.

       Regards,  Don Mankin

AOL TCP/IP Connections: : 02/15/98

   Many of you have not been successful connecting to AOL via TCP/IP these
past few days.  It has been confirmed that the problem was NOT AOL's, nor was
it ours.  It seems that UUNET, a major backbone provider (simular to
DataXchange, our backbone provider) stopped publishing addresses on the net.
AOL found the problem, and notified UUNET (where they disavowed any knowledge
of it). Then about 15 minutes later, the problem was fixed.

   The Internet is a work in progress.  It's amazing that it works at all.
You can see the complex set of dependancies involved to put it all together.

Index

Fiber Cable Cut: 02/07/98

   At 9:00pm Eastern, a fibercut caused by a flooding mudslide took down
over 300 T3's between Los Angeles and San Fransisco. Worldcom has escalated
this situation to the highest level, level 5. At this time, they are sending
helicopter crews to the site. Mud and high waters made it difficult to locate
the fibercut. Crews are on site. There is no ETR at this time. 

Index

Modem Upgrades: 02/05/98

   Soon, we intend to upgrade our modems to a modem rack configuration.
If you are currently dialing into one of our access number other than
833-0291, you must change this as soon as possible.  Our understanding is
that we will only have one access number which will roll over, and the 
others will be discontinued.  Please consider this a high priority!

Index

Circuit Down: 12/09/97

   At 5:30pm on December 9th, our circuit to the Internet went dead.
Worldcom, our telephone carrier, had it back up within 30 minutes.

Index

Morning Outage: 10/10/97

   Due to some corrections we made yesterday to discourage Spamming our
SMTP servers, our system failed to come up this morning.  Things are once
again back to working order.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Index

SMTP Server Change: 10/09/97

   We again have been the victim of a malicious Spammer using one of our
SMTP servers.  Last time this resulted in a system outtage lasting four
days.  Our system was down for several hours trying to get things back up.

Index

System Down: 10/02/97

   Our system was down this morning until shortly after 9am.  We had to
revert to a backup taken 09/30/97.  Unfortunately, any unretrieved messages,
or any saved messages in terminal mode, will be lost.  Sorry for the
inconvenience folks.

Index

New DNS Server: 09/15/97

   We now have a new and improved secondary name server.  Our primary
remains the same at 199.190.65.3 but have changed the secondary from
198.67.33.102 to 199.190.73.2.  If you are using Windows95 PPP with PAP.
you probably have your software configured to receive your  TCPIP,
Gateway, and DNS numbers from our server.  In this case, no changes to
your configuration are necessary.  If you are using Slip with Trumpet
Winsock, a MAC, or any other software that requires you to manually
enter the DNS information, you should make this change to your
configuration as soon as possible.

   The secondary DNS is used as a backup and only comes into play when
the primary fails... which doesn't happen often... but DOES happen.  If
the primary fails, and you have not configured for the new secondary,
you will not be able to get to any sites using their friendly name, ie,
www.yahoo.com as opposed to using their TCPIP address.

Index

Phone Lines: 09/05/97

   One of the phone cards in our T1 Channel Bank went bad.  During our
troubleshooting, we had to take the system offline several times.  We
have determined the cause of the problem, and have ordered a replacement.
When we get the replacement, we will again need to service the system
resulting in a short lapse of service.  This should occur around 09/09/97.

Index

Stuck Email: 08/27/97

   We have had a couple of users whom have had trouble retrieving their
email from the pop3 server.  What probably has occurred is that a large email
(or large file attachment) is sitting in the user's mailbox.  It's taking longer
for our system to build a maildrop file (converting the mail into POP3 format)
than the user's email client (Eudora or whatever) allows.  There are a couple of
different solutions to this problem.

   The user can raise his/her Network timeout value in the POP3 client Eudora
configuration. (Eudora, etc.)

   The user can switch his/her account over to POP3ONLY mode, which should speed
up the mailbuilding process a bit.

   Those should all help, or the user can simply log onto the system in terminal
mode and delete the messages with the large attachments and the problem should
go away.

Index

Modem Problems: 07/28/97

   We have had problems with one of our modems this last week.  Sometimes
it would connect at 4800 bps, but most often it wouldn't connect at all.
This modem was number 6 in our modem pool, so if it didn't answer, the 
calls would not hunt to the rest of the lines resulting in your call not
being answered.   Unfortunately we didn't know about it until it had
already caused noticable service disruption.

DNS Failures: 07/17/97
To all ACE InfoSystems Customers:    
 
Beginning at approximately 2:30AM EST, yesterday, July 17, 1997, the nine 
independently-administered Root Nameservers that serve the .com 
and .net Top Level Domains loaded corrupted versions of those two 
domains, and began handing out incomplete and erroneous DNS information 
about various second-level domain names within .com and .net. 
 
This caused intermittent failures when attempting to resolve DNS
queries about some .COM and .NET domain names, many of which were 
reported and experienced by both you and ACE InfoSystems Staff, as well
as many users on the Internet as a whole.
 
Here is an explanation provided by Network Solutions, aka InterNIC, 
which currently manages the control of the .com and .net Top Level 
domains, as well as the Master Root Name Server, A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET ..
 
> On Wednesday night, July 16, during the computer-generation of 
> the Internet top-level domain zone files, an Ingres database 
> failure resulted in corrupt .COM and .NET zone files.  Despite 
> alarms raised by Network Solutions' quality assurance schemes, 
> at approximately 2:30 a.m. (Eastern Time), a system 
> administrator released the zone file without regenerating the file 
> and verifying its integrity.  Network Solutions corrected the 
> problem and reissued the zone file by 6:30 a.m. (Eastern Time).  
> Thank you. 
> David H. Holtzman 
> Sr VP Engineering, Network Solutions 
> dholtz@internic.net 
 
Despite the corrective efforts made by Network Solutions early
yesterday, the responsibility for the .com and .net domain
nameservice is shared among nine Root Nameservers, of which Network
Solutions controls only one (A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET). 
 
Until the other eight Root Nameservers have had their .com and .net
data updated to remove the corruption, this problem will continue,
though with a diminishing frequency.  Currently, we are seeing that
some, but not all of the Root Nameservers have loaded the updated .com

Email Problems: 06/15/97

   ACE InfoSystems has been the victim of a spammers malicious use of our
smtp server.  As a direct result of this incident, our ppp/slip/smtp

Alternate Numbers: 04/03/97

   It appears that while we were closed for the Easter holiday, one of our
modems would fail to answer the line.  Because this modem was early in
our hunt group, calls would not get forwarded to our other available
modems.  This would result in some of our callers getting through, and
some would not.

   A "coutinous ringing" indicates the system is not answering.  This could
be because 1) the system is doing cleanup which occurs each morning
somewhere between 3am and 5am for an hour, 2) the system is down due to
a hardware or network problem, or 3) because of a hunting problem such
as the one described above.

   Should this occur again, below is a list of a few "alternate" numbers
to try.

          833-0291
          833-0890

Circuit Upgrade: March 6th, 1997

ACE InfoSystems circuit to the Internet was upgraded today from 56kbps

Pop Server Info: February 5th, 1997

All new subscribers will be using the internal POP server.  If you
created your ACE InfoSystems logon handle as "Firstname Lastname" then
your default Internet userid defaults to "firstname.lastname@aceinfo.com".
If you wish to have a different Internet email address then your logon
handle, you will need to log into the BBS and give yourself an email
account.  Do this by typing /GO USERID from almost any menu prompt.  If
you give yourself a userid of "fredrick", you must configure your email
reader for "fredrick@aceinfo.com" without the quotes.  You should also
tell the reader your SMTP host is "aceinfo.com", also without the
quotes.  If your reader supports news, set your NNTP host for
"news.dx.net"... again without the quotes.

Circuit Upgrade: January 5th, 1997

  In a continuing effort to provide our customers with the best
service possible, ACE InfoSystems is proud to announce that today,
01/28/97, we placed an order with our access provider that will greatly
enhance our network infrastructure.  Currently, we have sufficient
bandwidth to satisfy our current subscribers.  However, we wish to do
better than that, and at the same time, accomodate for any future growth
before it becomes a problem.

  Let me take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued
patronage.

The Need for Speed (14.4k, 28.8k, 56k): March 3rd, 1997

ACE InfoSystems currently has all 33.6kbps capable US Robotics modems.
Why is it, then, that when you connect, you may only get connect rates of
28kbps, 24kbps, or even 21kbps?  Because, unless you have a Pacific Bell
"data" certified line ($$$) or a digital connection to the central office,
your side of the connection may be too noisy.  Our connection to the central
office is entirely digital.  The D4 channel bank, the piece of equipment that
multiplexes the T1 digital entrance facility into individual voice lines,
is analog.  In order to assure our end of the connection is clean, and to
provide support for future 56kbps, this piece of equipment may need to be
upgraded.  We have had a subscribers report connections of around 31.0kbps
but this has not yet been verified by our office.

Believe it or not... the size of the pipe is only one factor in achieving
satisfaction.  *pun intended*  For instance,  a small  56k circuit  to an
uncongested Internet backbone may give you better bandwidth than a large T1
circuit  into a oversubscribed backbone.   Our T1 connection  is directly 
connected (1 hop) to DataXchange, a National Backbone Provider, and provides
a clear, uncongested connection to the Internet.  Other Internet Backbone
Providers, SprintNet for instance, share their Internet backbone T1's with
WATS and 800 voice traffic which can result in overly congested network
traffic!

And, of course, end user throughput is determined by what each use is
doing with the shared bandwidth.  Another words, on a fully subscribed
circuit, if each user was downloading files or bitmaps at the same time,  
the circuit could be saturated.  But the nature of the Internet is that at
any given time, some users will be telneting or chatting (ie, typing on
character at a time), some will be reading email, and some will be reading
the web page they just retrieved.  

The time of day is also a factor when determining throughput.  Holidays,
weekends, and evenings tend to be the most popular times for for people
surfing in their spare time.  Businesses congest the net by day.   Another
consideration is how popular a particular site you are trying to hit might
be and how may incomming TCP ports it has available.  Have you ever had 
the infamous "no DNS entry" message from your browser?  You may have hit
a site that was out of ports.

We will do the best we can to accomodate the needs of our customers.
Keep in mind that upgrades cost money.  As it is now, it is very difficult
to provide unlimited access for only $20 per month and at the same time
reduce busy signals... and still make a profit.  I rather doubt that many
ISP's can continue to double a subscribers bandwidth at no additional cost
like they did going from 14.4kbps to 28.8kbps.  And until a X2 56k standard
is adapted, it may not be wise to rush out and buy a X2 modem.  AOL, trying
to steal the show, will try to be first to introduce this feature.  Then it
will take you just half the time to reach a busy signal.   Our current
plan is to see what the market does before me make a decision.  We believe
things will flush out given time.

Sportster Bugs: January 1st, 1997

Important! <<< US Robotics Sportster v.34 (28.8/33.6) Modem Users >>>

GET YOUR PAUSE OFF MY MODEM

http://www.usr.com/home/online/trblshot/13015.htm

U.S. Robotics has released information about the controversial
"pause" bug that has plagued its Sportster modems. The quick and
dirty workaround is to go into terminal mode with a program like
Windows Terminal, Procomm, or Qmodem, and set register "S12=0".

U.S. Robotics has also issued a firmware fix. If you still get the pauses,
go to the U.S. Robotics site for information on getting a firmware update.

This software fix has been utilized at ACE InfosSystems' modem pool.

Mailing Lists: October 26, 1996

We now have two Internet Email Mailing Lists.  The first, "news", is
a moderated one... only the sysop can post to it.   It was created as a
way to allow me to get important system related news to those of you with
POP email accounts and don't like to log on to the system.  (I suggest you
telnet in anyways!)  You you may join by sending an email message to
news-request@mail.aceinfo.com with SUBSCRIBE on a line by itself in the
 body of the message.  This list does not allow you to UNSUBSCRIBE.

   The second list, "acetalk", any member can post to, and is
unmoderated.  It's basically an open forum for general type messages.
To subscribe, leave email for acetalk-request@mail.aceinfo.com with
SUBSCRIBE on a line by itself in the body of the message.  To quit,
have UNSUBSCRIBE on a line by itself in the body of the message.

   Do you wish to moderate your own mailing list?  I'm open to
suggestions.  Especially wanted are folks willing to volunteer their
time to help with community lists or forums.  (Must be 18 to play)
