Termination of Telnet access to BIDS services
---------------------------------------------
Monitoring of the levels of usage of the telnet route into the BIDS IBSS
Online and Education services has shown that we have reached the point
where very few people indeed now use these facilities. For example, in
May, almost 99.9% of accesses to IBSS were via the web interface (20,351
total accesses with 28 telnet logins).
We therefore propose to remove support for telnet access to BIDS
services with effect from the end of August 2002.
Our thanks to all you who have supported this service since its launch
over 10 years ago (and apologies to those die-hards who are still using
it!).
