I am running http, https, ftp, telnet, ping, smtp, pop3, imap, run several mailing lists, and even used setiathome for a while. I have frequent (a couple every few days) of dropouts of less than a minute, and about every six to eight weeks I will be down for an hour or more. Rebooting the modem usually fixes these when I can get to it. Since I'm running the mail server the down time has made me think about switching more than once, but I have not found another option that will give me easy Linux access and a domain name that you can remember and type. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer http://kramer.ne.mediaone.net DK KD DKK D On a cellular level, I'm actually quite busy!
