The ftp and www server "standard.pictel.com" will be shut down for up to four hours this Thursday, 29 January starting at about 6 PM US Eastern time. The system hardware will be upgraded at that time (from a 10-or-so MIP SPARCstation 1 to a SPARC IPX with an accelerated CPU chip).

Services will resume normally once the upgrade is completed.
