Dear Valued Customer:
UUNET Year 2000 Customer Premise Equipment Information Notification
UUNET is currently engaged in a project to evaluate its readiness for Year 2000. The UUNET Year 2000 Program Office manages program activities that encompass the customer global network and value-added services as well as internal systems.
UUNET is taking this opportunity to communicate with its customers concerning their joint responsibilities for evaluating whether the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) used in conjunction with UUNET services is Y2K compliant. This equipment includes routers, CSU/DSU's, firewalls, servers and desktops.
Although UUNET does not make any claim or warranty as to the Year 2000 compliance of this third-party equipment, we are providing you with the sources of vendor compliance information in the web so that you can evaluate the CPE's Year 2000 status. We encourage you to contact the manufacturers of your CPE for information on their Year 2000 programs and the Year 2000 readiness of this equipment.
The table on the next pages shows the type of equipment, the manufacturer and the URL through which you may be able to obtain more information. This list includes CPE that UUNET currently ships and supports. You may own other equipment that was not supplied by UUNET or that is not currently shipped and supported by UUNET.
We hope that you will use this information to examine your CPE, assess its Year 2000 readiness, and upgrade any equipment that may require such action. Should you have questions concerning CPE, please call UUNET at 1-888 886 3865.
If you have questions concerning UUNET's Year 2000 Program, we hope you will read our Year 2000 information at : http://www.wcom.com/about_the_company/year_2000_compliance/uunet_y2k/index.p.... Direct inquiries to the Year 2000 Program Office can be made to year2000@uu.net.
The information provided by UUNET in this letter constitutes a year 2000 readiness disclosure under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (October 19, 1998, 105 U.S. Public Law 271, 112 Stat. 2386). This Year 2000 readiness disclosure includes a republication of Year 2000 statements originally made by the third party manufacturers of the equipment listed below. UUNET is not the source of these republished statements, which have been supplied by another entity, which are based on information UUNET has not verified. Accordingly, UUNET is not responsible for the republished information's accuracy, completeness, or currency.
"UUNET" as used herein and the references to various networks, services, and systems, refers only to UUNET and its networks, services, and systems, and should not be construed as applying to MCI WORLDCOM Inc. ("MCI WorldCom") in general or to any other WorldCom or MCI companies or their networks, services, or systems.
We look forward to servicing you well into the new millenium!
Sincerely, Andrew Ordin Y2K Project Coordinator
