Unfortunately I'm not surprised. when I first got an ISDN line (about 3 years ago) I bought an account with 012.net. I still don't know why, but I could never connect to them - after authentication all I got on the line was errors. Unfazed I called 012 tech support at which time they specifically told me, in not so many words, that I can go look where the sun doesn't shine as they don't support Linux, has no intention to support Linux, don't really care about Linux users and I can forget about getting my money back and I still owe them the next 2 months' fees as I signed a 3 month service commitment. My conclusion after this was - never do business with 012. Other ISPs on my "not getting any more money from me" list are: * Barak - blamed me for stealling bandwidth after they disconnected my 2B ISDN line which was running over a year w/o problems. * Internet Zahav - have sucky tech support and specifically told me they only provider support for windows users and only for web browsing problems when I called with remote access problems. they also have a badly configured transparent proxy. * Netvision - unilaterally changed the pricing program for a friend of mine (to the more expensive one of course), and I know for a fact that they tend to do this often. for example - they offer an ADSL bundle in which they buy the ADSL line which then belongs to them and they won't turn it over to the client when she wants to move to another ISP. * BezeqInt - part of the "Evil Empire from Hell(tm)". in the past I had problems with their tech support but I'm told they are much better now. -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
