IIRC, he once touted the wonders of NetMedic. In today's article he recommends dumping your ISP if you have trouble loading web pages, yeah 404 errors are always on the requesting side, and if your email isn't delivered within five minutes. /Every/ complaint of slow delivery I have investigated has been because the other end refused the connection (usually AOL, go figure) or it was delivered within seconds but the other end, more often than not a national provider or RBOC, took hours to make it available to their customer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
