This announcement is about a problem of a more technical nature that a
minority of Demon customers may have found when using the new Telehouse
COLT ROMP regarding a protocol known as SLIP.

Some users will have noticed that in the last 24 hours the Telehouse
ROMP was causing problems when attempting to use SLIP protocol.

We have discovered that the latest software update supplied to us not
only supports compressed SLIP but is also set to prefer CSLIP as a
default. The result was that regardless of your local configuration, if
SLIP protocol was selected, sessions were either failing or forcing vj
compression.

We have now modified the configuration of the affected Ascends to
ensure that vj compression is turned off.

We are currently investigation a way in which the choice of vj
compression (CSLIP) can be controlled by the user and this will be
announced in due course.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this inadvertent change
in configuration.
