It's amazing what you > can find out by actually picking up a telephone these days. You're actually suggesting calling up phone support for a residential cable Internet service? Come on: these people wouldn't know what 24/8 meant if every piece of networking equipment with an IP in 24/8 landed in front of their office. They wouldn't know what TCP ports are, either, and they'd probably just say "sorry, we only support Internet Explorer and Outlook Express" Oh, and email support is generally worse... Often, it goes to /dev/null and you don't even get to be "entertained" by a reply that doesn't have anything to do with the question. IMHO, the best way to get problems fixed with these things is to befriend their admins, and the NANOG mailing list seems like a perfectly good place to find out who they are... Vivien -- Vivien M.
