The editors' Internet provider, Demon Internet, has advised that a 
complete redesign of its services means that various settings on user 
computers will be required. The changeover will take place sometime 
tomorrow (February 4) and will affect all computers in the editor's home 
network.

Hopefully the changeover will be seamless and mail inwards and outwards 
will not be affected. However if anyone sends an URGENT e-mail (eg 
discovery claim) tomorrow and does not receive an acknowledgement 
message within, say, three hours please ring the editor on (01256) 
471074. Hopefully by February 5 everything will be back to normal.
