I suspect a call to tech support would do the same thing. Given the 
record of such software in the past, I would hesitate to use anything 
like that to set up an account.


Good ol' Lavanet, they send you a sheet of paper with the info printed 
on it. Paper, now there's a new and exciting concept.

Can't use their web space to store your ebay pictures though. Something's 
wrong that's preventing the pictures from being seen from a 
non-hawaiiantel website. This never used to happen when verizon was 
running it.


Sounds like they are demanding a referer (sic). If everyone viewing your 
pictures would use Firefox with the RefControl extension, and set it to 
spoof the referer to hawaiiantel.com, you would have no problems ;). You 
might want to complain about that. If enough do, they might relax that 
restriction.

I complained to them about it (not specifically about the referer) twice 
but they claimed that there was nothing wrong with their system and 
everything was working fine.

Well, technically, that's true; there is nothing wrong with their 
system. They deliberately chose to make it that way.

Except that they imply that your new Hawaiiantel connection will run the 
same way as your old Verizon one did. 

Has anyone else encountered this problem?
