Subject: New Dialup numbers for everyone

Panix's NY metro region phone numbers are changing. (This includes most NJ
phone numbers.) In addition to the phone numbers, how you log in will change
slightly as well.

We're doing this because the viability of our current phone company is
highly questionable. Phone service on the old numbers could be lost very
soon.

Please see the web page with the new numbers at
http://www.panix.com/panix/phone-numbers.html

We'll be sending a somewhat more detailed email message to every Panix
subscriber on Thursday. Please read it carefully before calling or writing
our support staff with questions, but once you've read it, please don't
delay switching numbers! This minor inconvenience is insignificant compared
to the trouble you could face if you delay until the old numbers die, and
only then discover that you're having trouble with our new numbers.

Panix users dialing directly to a unix host, without using PPP, should
please wait for the email before trying the new numbers, as there are
a few minor differences in the way you'll be logging in.

We're sorry that everyone has to go through this, but we expect that once
you make the switch you'll find the same high-quality service at the new
numbers.

Thank you for continuing to use Panix... a reliable Internet provider in
unreliable times.
