Same thing happens with the site ESPN would likely use to stream Olympics coverage, ESPN360.com. I didn't have access to ESPN360 when my ISP was DSL Extreme, and I still don't have access now that my ISP is Road Runner/Time Warner -- neither one has paid ESPN's fee for the right to make it available to their subscribers. -- Jim Ellwanger <train...@ellwanger.tv> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV ....
