If users report a busy signal, CIFNet has the ability to connect as many phone lines as necessary to relieve the problem.
Some Internet providers run all their services from one or two servers.
CIFNet uses eight servers to keep its services up and running. These servers range from our dedicated news and IRC servers right down to the secure commercial web servers. All these servers run Unix variants, which CIFNet feels is the only operating system that should be used for networking. All machines run on PC stations with power backups. If one of these machines should go down, CIFNet's engineers are on call 24 hours a day to fix any problems.
