I will be re-addressing all of the machines on the network including the Matronics Web Server and Matronics Email Server at that time. Name Service will be updated at that time as well and most things should work again pretty quick. There may be some bounced email for a few hours or even a day or so as the new name-to-ip-address resolutions propagate into the depths of the Internet. If you have problems posting a message to one of the Lists or get a bounced message back, please wait a couple of hours and try sending it again. Generally, access to the web site should work within 1-hour of the update or around 8pm PDT. Hopefully the transition will go smoothly and you'll hardly even notice! :-) Thanks for your patience!

Van used to specify the height of the air inlets as 2 5/8 to 2 3/4 inches - the plans were later amended to remove this dimension. It seems to me to be all but impossible to achieve this range myself but I still have my cutting wheel at the ready. Would anyone care to give me some height dimensions? It could be entertaining if not enlightening. So far I prefer working on the canopy to the cowl, for sure. lucky do not archive -------------- Original message -------------- > --> RV8-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle) > > > Dear Listers, > > Tonight, Friday 1/7/2005 at 7pm PDT, I will be working with my Internet > Service Provider to upgrade to a larger IP subnet.
