Forum Change Notification
Intel(R) Internet Support(John C.)
Intel has made changes to the forum server software making it
necessary for you to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the forums if
you use an NNTP browser. This change will be effective November
18, 1999 8:00a.m. Pacific Standard Time. After you have
resubscribed, please update your bookmarks.
All existing posts will be moved to the new server and those of
you using the HTTP interface will continue to be able to enter
the forums through the links from the forums home page located at
http://forums.intel.com/. If you had a bookmark directly into the
HTTP interface for the forum, you will need to update those
bookmarks as well.
