Congratulations!  You were finally able to login and read your e-mail :-)

We know it's been a bit like waiting in line for hot concert tickets
lately.  Except for Clif who lives with the main system, the EFN staff
has had the same frustrations.  We're on a steep growth curve for both
computing resources and network users, but sometimes users outpace the
system.  So...

This month we're making adding more phone lines the focus of our
fundraising.  For every $200 raised in March, EFN will add one
additional phone line (port) to our main dial-in access.  We want there
to be enough room in EFN for you to feel comfortable inviting your
friends over to try out the internet (a major attraction, coming soon!).

So, while it's close to the beginning of the month, please help us buy
more modems and phone lines.  Please mail a check (payable to "EFN") to:  

            EFN, Attn: Fundraising
            PO Box 1221

Thank you.
