Seems their modem is fried, or they need to reinstall DUN, or fix whatever it is that's broken on their system. "But it was working fine yesterday! How can it possibly be broken now?" *sigh* You call me for help, yet you doubt me? Ahh, doubtful one, your logic is flawed. Listen to my wisdom, shut up, and do what I tell you to. No more. No less. Axiom I: Many things work just fine when first pressed into service. Axiom II: Crap breaks. Theorem: For all broken crap, there exists a point in time before which the crap worked, and after which the crap is broke. Corollary: For all broken crap, it's not only possible, but inevitable that it worked before and it don't work now! If you want to argue with me about Zeno's paradoxes, fine. Otherwise, just accept that your crap broke, and it happened some time between yesterday and now. Do you want me to help you deal with the _now_? Or shall I play our hold music of Barbara Streisand singing "Memories"? But I ramble... -- Willondon Donovan / willondon@bigfoot.com
