When I entered today (first day after the lowering of CIS rates) I noticed a noticeable sluggishness in the data transfers… Could it be that CIS already has a lot of new users? I hope they've made the necessary adjustments to receive all these new users… Jorge Escobar/MEGABYTE PRODUCTIONS (…and AutoPilot, of course!)

Jorge, CIS is expecting that the first few days they might experience some heavier than normal system loads. They're pretty much prepared for it, will be monitoring rather closely and perform load balancing as needed. -sja

Jorge, I work for CompuServe. Overall, we are not really expecting a big increase in usage according to the test markets we have done. Currently we have about 23 mainframes with 16 of them being model SC-30. These are very new mainframes and by the end of April, we will have added 30 more SC-30's. By the end of the year (roughly) we will be adding another 50 of them. I hope this will ease your anxiety about the matter. The company is certainly making efforts to correct the problem. / /_ /_/onathan __/chmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land

Thanxs for your reply, Jonathan. Today (March 6th) I entered CIS and didn't note any slowdown… The system was responding normally. Jorge Escobar/MEGABYTE PRODUCTIONS (…and AutoPilot, of course!)

Jorge… Don't forget who owns CIS…..H&R Block and it's close to tax time. Maybe they have a lot of business. ..Carl
