This message is going out to all Zipcon Subscribers.

  First, I am going to start posting updates to the web page at:

    http://www.zipcon.net/new/

You can read new and previous Zipcon Update messages at this
web page.
 
  I had a problem with the Frontpage extensions on www.zipcon.net.
I believe its finally fixed.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  If
you would like Frontpage extensions on your web page, please let me
know by sending me a login and password.  If you've done this before,
please send the info again, sorry for the inconvenience.

  Zipcon is now offering what is called 'personal domain web hosting'.
Its a non-business domain hosting service, where you can have your own
domain name, web page, and email at your domain, for $10/month.  More
info is available at http://www.zipcon.net/webhosting.html#personal
The server is all set up, but just needs a tape backup unit.  I should
have it ready to go this weekend.

  We have been having problems with Usenet news lately.  Because of
this, there is going to be a news system change this weekend.  You may
find that the article numbering may not match, and articles you have
read, appear unread.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  Please email
me with any questions or problems you have with it.

  Recently, there has been a noted problem with Netscape Messenger and
Microsoft Outlook Express.  You can read about it and find links to
the fixed versions at:

In short, there is a serious security problem where someone can send
you an email or news message and it can damage your computer software.
If you use Windows 95 or 98 and Netscape, you can download Netscape 4.07
at ftp://ftp.zipcon.net/pub/win95/n32e407.exe
or go to:
    http://home.netscape.com/download/su1.html

If you use Outlook Express, go to this website:
    http://www.microsoft.com/ie/security/oelong.htm

For Microsoft Outlook, go here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/support/msfe

 Finally, I would like to reboot the mail server very early Sunday
morning.  It has been up and running for a long time and needs a good
full filesystem check.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.  Thanks for
using Zipcon!
