Important MAC Sequencher Changes

11/5/2008

We have updated the Sequencher Key Server so that all keys are controlled from one machine. This is to prepare for introducing a long awaited upgrade to Sequencher!

This means that all Mac Sequencher clients should update their Key Access Clients to use the IP address of 165.91.109.230. The Mac Sequencher server will be shut down at the end of the month, Nov 30th. For most macs on OSX, you can change the IP under System Settings and clicking the Key Access Client icon at the bottom of the window. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Server Upgrade

7/9/2007

We have made a change on the FTP site in an attempt to improve the reliability of the service. You should now use "idmb-gtl.idmb.tamu.edu" as the server to connect to. The connection page has also been updated with this information. We are also in the process of purchasing new hardware in order to further help with this issue.
