Maybe not "own" it in the sense that you seem to have taken my statement. There's nothing wrong with the primary ISP. I just want the flexibility to adjust servers as appropriate.
The dialup is valuable because it's portable, almost infinitely if that's not a contradiction in terms. Anywhere there's a phone line. Diverse routing has value. It's an eggs in baskets issue, why would one not prefer to distribute risk? I'm not ticked off at VZ, they are what they are. I'm mostly ticked off at RCN, at this point. They've made it impossible for the average user to implement a distributed server model. It's their way or the highway. Pretty high handed for a pissant cable company (that I actually like better than Cox or Comcast). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
