We are pleased to announce the conclusion of our Network Consolidation Project.  Support for the FIN network will be discontinued beginning July 1^st.  We would like to take this opportunity and thank everyone involved in the project for their determination and hard work which led to the successful completion of this project in a timely manner.  We believe the migration to our AT&T managed service network � gives us greater flexibility to meet the data communication needs of our clearing firms for now and the near future.

If you haven�t done so by now, please fax in the disconnect form for the old FIN circuits. Also, if you still have our CISCO 2500 series router at your primary site, it belongs to the CME � and needs to be returned.   Routers at DR sites were secondary and were purchased by the clearing firm.  If you have any question concerning either one of these issues � please contact Ori Lotan at 312-466-7430.
