Have You Changed to a Network Service Vendor?

INDIANAPOLIS—National Government Services is counting down the days in its vendor migration project, which mandates that all providers who currently use dial-up and point-to-point protocol (PPP) file transfer protocol (FTP) must switch to a network service vendor, or NSV, for their secured connection to the CEDI gateway. As of May 1, direct connections will no longer be supported. If you haven’t switched yet, NGS says you may get a busy signal with your dial-up service. For a list of approved NSVs, check the CEDI website at www.ngscedi.com under “Telecommunications.”
