You either get access through this company -- in my       case, it's CenturyLink -- or you go without. CL is        notorious for its lousy customer service and weeks-long wait times to get       things fixed.              The reason why we don't get anything else out here is that there's not enough       customers to get government subsidies to invest in        the physical backbone so no one bothers.              Later,       Sean                     ... Opportunity always knocks at the least opportune moment.       ___ MultiMail/Win v0.52              --- Maximus/2 3.01        * Origin: Outpost BBS * bbs.outpostbbs.net:2304 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 18/200 227/114 229/200 354 426 1014 240/5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/307 317 400 280/464 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       SEEN-BY: 2320/304 3828/7       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
