Thanks for your participation in NEARnet's semi-annual security test.  In
general, the test went very well.  We were not as successfull at contacting
many sites as we had hoped, though.  More about that later.

Here are some preliminary results from the test:

	Time Started		19:30
	Time Finished		21:22

	Sites Called		  147

	Sites Reached		   85 (89 calls were logged at the NEARnet
				       Emergency Announcement Line at MIT)
	Sites Not Reached	   62


Summary of Notes:

 Frequency Note
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   10      no problems
    3      bad home # on one contact
    3      several/all contacts had both home & office numbers but we didn't
         	    reach any of them either place; suggests need for pagers?
    3      computer center/NOC listed as contact but didn't answer
   16      no contacts at all
   17      need more contacts (only 1 listed)
   19      no home/pager #s
   20      need more home/pager #s (only 1 listed)
    5      staff didn't try to reach all contacts (we'll fix that)
    2      staff neglected to call site (we'll fix that)
    4      site missing automatic cutoff or authority instructions


Below are detailed results.  Note that even in some cases where we did get
through, the small number of contacts listed or number of them who don't have
home/pager numbers listed makes us worry that we might not be so lucky next
time.  Notes are attached to sites with these and other problems.  

If you want to review your site's contact information, send a note to
dyerardi@nic.near.net and she will mail you back the current information.  We
will also follow up with individual messages to some sites to correct known
problems with contact information.

Thanks again for your help with the test.

Regards,
Dan
