    Dear Colleagues

    Greetings! Further to my message yesterday (SLRMAIL 437) announcing
    MAIL problems here (now mended - thanks to those who re-MAILed lost
    messages), we have been informed that there has been a major routing
    fault somewhere centrally in the AC.UK network since Monday. The nature
    of the fault remains unknown and the timescale for repair is therefore
    also unknown.

    The symptoms seen here are that all network transfers take up to 100
    times longer than normal. So our attempts to FTP GPS and Glonass orbit
    data files from Berne have timed out and we have not been able to
    produce daily IRVs for the last 2 days. We will do the best we can to 
    keep the files up-to-date but regret that we cannot guarantee normal
    service for GPS and Glonass daily IRVs until the fault is fixed.
    However, to overcome this problem, we are now computing daily SLR-based
    IRVs for the Glonass satellites, and these are available via the normal
    FTP address ftp://mtfiles.nerc-monkswood.ac.uk/nercslr/current/.

    `RGO&#180; predictions for other satellites should be available as normal.
    Again apologies for any inconvenience.
 
    Regards
    Roger
