Please note carefully the information below about the end of year schedule
at CERN.


           1992 COMPUTER CENTRE CHRISTMAS SHUTDOWN SCHEDULE
           ------------------------------------------------

   This year, CERN closes officially on Tuesday December 22nd at 17.30
and re-opens on Tuesday, January 5th at 08.30 in the morning.

   We normally carry out as much as possible of the  maintenance  work
on the computer centre infrastructure (electrical supplies, air condi-
tioning, etc.) during this period.

   There will be no power available in building 513 during most of the
shutdown period when outside contractors and computer centre staff are
scheduled to work.

   Consequently, the computer centre schedule for the two week  period
between December 22nd, 1992 and January 5th, 1993 is as follows:

     * All computer centre services to the user community (CERNVM, CRAY,
       the central VAX CLUSTERS, DXCERN, the CERN ADP services, CORE,CSF
       SHIFT and all central workstation services) will be stopped on
       Tuesday December 22nd at 12.00, as well as ALL INTERNAL NETWORK
       SERVICES.

     * The following communications services will be kept up  and run-
       ning during the whole two week period:

          - All leased lines including TELEPAC / X29 access
          - X25 access
          - All EARN services
          - EASIgate (access to NSFNET and european EASInet sites)
          - Transit traffic via TCP / IP
          - Transit traffic via DECNET

     * All central systems will be restarted during the weekend of
       January 2nd & 3rd 1993, and ALL computer services will be fully
       available on Tuesday, January 5th at 08.30 in the morning.

   Please note that CERN-wide work on the electrical supplies du-
ring the shutdown may sometimes cause problems to remote communi-
cations equipment that is not on a protected supply.
