01/01/2000   The Servcon system has had its security upgraded. There have been reports that some users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer may be experiencing difficulties in filing contracts where they had none before.

We recommend downloading the newest version of Netscape and this will alleviate any issues you may be experiencing. If you cannot/or wish not to upgrade to Netscape, contact us for a workaround which does *not* require a change to your current software.

If you experience these or other system issues, please feel free to contact us with your comments and questions. We appreciate your patience while we improve operations and security.
