Important Update on Diablo E-mail and Discussion Lists

E-mail Status: We have restored e-mail service for both the diab.com and diabloanalytical.com domains as of 4/10/2001. If you sent an e-mail to either of these domains between 3/29/2001 and 4/10/2001, we most likely did not receive it and you should re-send the message if possible.

Discussion List Status: We are still working to initiate service with a new high-speed Internet provider. Unfortunately, the Listserv software that we use to host our discussion lists requires a full time Internet connection and a static IP address. This means that the discussion lists will be offline until our new Internet service has been installed and configured. We will send an update message to all lists when service has been restored.

4/2/2001

Important Announcement

Due to a problem with our high-speed Internet service provider, Diablo has been unable to send or receive e-mail since Thursday, March 29th. We are working to restore this service as quickly as possible. However, if you sent an e-mail to us on or after that date, we have not been able to retrieve it and respond.
