I think the real problem here is that once a company gets so big they trip over themselves. I'm an engineer for a TV station, so I look at like this: If a problem exists you fix it. I get so tired of trouble tickets and tech. support that doesn't know how anything works. I think there is something wrong when the users know more about how stuff works than the person supposed to be fixing it. Hell, just give me authorization to go into the CO and any where else and I'll fix it. Oh well, what can one do? ---- Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Reynolds" <mav@wastegate.net> To: "Jason Halbert" <jason@jason-n3xt.org>; "Kenneth Wayne Culver" <culverk@wam.umd.edu>; "Ted Mittelstaedt" <tedm@toybox.placo.com> Cc: "Forrest Aldrich" <forrie@forrie.com>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 08:13 Subject: Re: ADSL with Verizon > On Wed, 7 Nov 2001 00:06:44 -0600, Jason Halbert wrote: > > >I have never liked verizon.
