Everything will be up and running shortly. Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. UPDATE: Webmail is still currently having problems [...]

The root cause of the slow website access and general sluggish performance of our servers has been isolated to one of our core routers. The router is not doing its job properly and we are in communication with Cisco about it. We may end up performing emergency maintenance to restore full functionality but that’s not [...]
