Between 12:05 AM and 2:00 AM Thursday morning, August 11th, DIIS will be working with our Internet Service Provider to repair a piece of network equipment related to our Internet connection. Because we have a second ("redundant") device that is currently operational, this repair is not likely to cause any disruption of service. However, there is the possibility of a brief (15 minute) Internet outage if there are any complications during the repair of the equipment.
