System Change - June 2004

UNH Modem Pool Scheduled Deactivation 6/30/04
The old UNH Modem Pool will be retired on June 30, 2004. The phase-out is due to the modem pool's archaic technology, low usage by a limited number of clients, and unreliability due to its age. In November 2003, CIS surveyed modem pool clients to determine who used the service, and to provide advanced notice that the pool was being considered for retirement. Some clients had no affiliation with UNH, prompting concerns about security.

A reference web page is available at http://www.isp.unh.edu listing possible ISP alternatives and references from UNH clients. The web page at http://www.email.unh.edu lists email resources and alternatives.
