I guess I'm going to have a very quiet weekend... FRMOP22 is down. I tried to
give a  phone call  and, O  surprise, someone  answered!! When  I asked  him to
please restart  the FRHEC11 line,  he asked  what "FRHEC11" meant.  I explained
about the network  and the MVS machine  and he said "It's the  3033, right?" --
"No, not the 3033,  the 3081." -- "So, what is the command?"  -- "Well, I don't
know, I don't know  MVS at all!" -- "Me either." -- (trying  to remember what I
had overheard  at SHARE) "I  think it's $S,  try $SFRHEC11" --  "Sorry, doesn't
work". Oh well. Still, I'd like to know  what use can an operator be if he does
not know anything about his system... All the other JES2 nodes in France and in
Belgium were either routed through FRMOP22 or down, so I could not ask anybody,
and FRCPN11 was down  so no way to reach the States or  Germany via CMD FRCPN11
CMD CERNVM CMD CEARN... :-( Could one of  the JES2 people here tell me what the
proper command is, pour la prochaine fois? :-)
 
  Version 8611  of BITEARN NODES is  out. Please retrieve file  VERS8611 NODUPD
from  Netserv, run  UPDNODES,  reboot LISTSERV  and run  NODESGEN.  Here is  an
exerpt from VERS8611 NODUPD:

  That's Supelec!! Now  I understand why they complained about  the phone bill.
They connected to FRPOLY11 instead of FRORS31 which is a few hundred yards from
the school... Oh well, I don't care, it's their money, if they want to waste it
it's their problem... :-)
 
  You may also  wish to have a look  at the REP FRECP11 entry.  For some reason
EARN coordination  has decided that  "Eric Thomas"  should be replaced  by "Mr.
Eric Thomas"... :-( I preferred it as it was before... :-( Oh well, never mind.
 
  There doesn't seem to have been any major change in Europe, so it's not worth
re-exploding the lists.  I'll try to take opportunity of  this quiet weekend to
finish 1.5c...
