The system that hosts the primary Netrek services has experienced a hardware failure with the power supply. The folks at Real Time who provide the hosting services have been spectacular in helping with this situation, and they have even provided a temporary replacement server until ours can be fixed. Primary Netrek services, including www.netrek.org, is now back up. I'm expecting the replacement parts to arrive late next week, so for the next two weeks or so, you may notice some secondary Netrek services being down or less responsive. We are looking into some alternatives for backup or redundant systems in order to reduce the impact of our primary server going offline. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Special thanks to Real Time and everyone else who help to maintain or support the Netrek infrastructure and community. Dave
