INTERNET RELAY CHAT SERVER AT PHOENIX.PRINCETON.EDU 
WILL BE DECOMMISSIONED AS OF OCTOBER 1, 1992

Systems Administrators at Princeton University have decided that
there are not enough resources at Princeton University to support IRC.
I was asked to discontinue the server as of Oct. 1, 1992. Princeton
University does not want another person to set up the server in my 
place on any of the CIT machines as there are not enough resources
available. Systems Administrators might consider running it officially
sometime in the future.

Further, as of Oct. 1, 1992, you can not reach me at this e-mail address
any more, since I have completed my degree and therefore am no longer
affiliated with Princeton University, who will retire my account
gracefully as of Oct. 1, 1992. Please send personal mail to me to
snoopy@sunee.uwaterloo.ca from where I will reroute it to my temporary
work-email address (phellmonds@worldbank.org), which is only valid until
Jan. 31, 1993.

For questions as to the discontinuation of IRC at phoenix and for requests
to re-commission it, please write to the Systems Manager for Unix Systems
at Princeton University, Larry Rogers, e-mail lrr@Princeton.EDU.

For information on alternative access methods, use IRC until Oct. 1, 1992
and ask in #twilight_zone about it. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.
