| 
| We have been having hardware problems (controller board) on they server
| that does news (machine name batch, how clever!) since last Thursday.
| The machine started crashing Friday morning and continued to do so throughout
| the weekend.  Each time it crashed it took pot shots at uucico on the
| other servers.
| 
| We are working with the system manufacturer to correct the problem.  In
| the meantime, batch has been disabled in order to save uucico on the
| other servers.
| 
| I have no time-frame for correction of the problem....and so it goes.....
