I had two ISPs and both had the identical problem. After YEARS of having a solid connection suddenly, it was just dying to nothing. It wouldn't disconnect. Just no data coming in after a short time. MCI 'supervisor' said they only guaranteed a voice connection not data. They use ATT lines and even MCI couldn't get a satisfactory solution from them. This is the way corporations fragment 'support' to make it meaningless. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
