Couldn’t agree more. To be more precise, when we first were granted dal, about
5 or so years ago, I had the connection running through Aracnet. My dal modem (
a Zoom ) just bridges the stuff to my lan router, which does all the heavy
lifting. The dal modem only modems - is not a router.
This setup has been flawless, until the Great Demise (Aracnet). Since then, as
a stopgap, the sip chores now are in Frontier’s clutches - ah - hands.
All of a sudden, two days ago, the traffic ceased. Could connect to and ping
the modem, ping the dos servers, gateway, etc - - just no traffic.
I’ll be glad to fill in more details, but am afraid of going all Stallman on
everyone <Grin>
