1. Please be advised that the Mitel technician will be here on Tuesday,
April 2, 2002 to make a correction to the voice mail system.  This
repair should correct the system problem that College users have
been experiencing – voice mail messages delivered in an untimely
manner, light flashing without messages, messages without light
flashing, etc.  Other attempts to correct the problem have failed,
however, this problem was escalated to a senior division and
hopefully this will do the trick.  You may experience some disruption in
service from 7:00 a.m. –8:00 a.m. while the tech is working on the
switch.  You will not lose any messages that are currently stored in
your mailboxes.

This only effects users of the Mitel system (“646-312-xxxx”).
