Currently, the Bureau of Information Services (BIS) has two pathways for IBM mainframe access for full screen and file transfer functions. Their IP addresses are 141.114.124.15 and 10.10.90.1 respectively. Early in 2004, we will be installing the next release of the IBM operating system. In preparation for this upgrade, BIS has scheduled the removal of the older 141.114.124.15 pathway on December 28th, as part of the regularly scheduled system reset that occurs every Sunday. This change is part of a series of cost saving measures. Retiring the older network will save the state money.
There are still a few users that directly point to the old pathway IP address to get to mainframe applications, such as NECSES or MFASIS. These users will lose connectivity after December 28. (Users who use the new address or use the names memvs.dafs.state.me.us or memvs.ddp.state.me.us will not be affected by this change.)
If you have any questions about your connection to the IBM, please contact the technical person responsible for your PC.
