OCLC has been experiencing problems with Ramtek terminals. These problems have necessitated extensive testing and negotiations which have yet not been satisfactory. As a result, OCLC will no longer accept delivery of Ramtek terminals and will not install any of the terminals presently available for installation until a resolution to the present problems has been reached.
Dial access capabilities have been severely hampered by the shortage of in-put ports at OCLC. Therefore no additional dial access users are being authorized until further notice.
The moratorium both on new terminal installations and on dial access authorizations places extreme restrictions on OCLC system access, particularly for new users.
