thelma's replacement now available

Hiya,

A new top-level source, designed as a replacement for thelma.ucar.edu,
is now available: "motherlode.ucar.edu".  thelma will still be
available for a while, but external sites currently using thelma as a
source of data should switch to using motherlode instead, at their
convenience.

The acquisition of motherlode was described in the Summer/Fall 1999
issue of the Unidata Newsletter.  It is the result of a joint project
between Unidata and NCAR's Scientific Computing Division (SCD) to
provide an archive of IDD products, convenient access to critical data
sets in SCD's Mass Storage System, a McIDAS ADDE server, a DODS
server, and other new ways to access remote data.  The motherlode
machine is a Sun E450, with 4 450 Mhz processors, 4 GB of memory,
redundant power supplies, and 500 GB of disk.  It sits on the network
directly connected to the vBNS by one router.  It's currently running
LDM version 5.1.2, a new version that will be available for general
use in about a month.

To check access permissions before switching from thelma to
motherlode, invoke

  notifyme -vl - -h motherlode.ucar.edu

and let us know of any problems.

Thanks,
Robb...
