   RW>I have Comcast and use binkp on port 24554.  I doubt Comcast would   
   RW>block that port even on the residential service (I have the starter   
   RW>business package here).   
      
     While I don't have Comcast Business, I do have a part of their high speed   
   internet with good upload/download speeds. I would think if the port was   
   blocked, that nothing would come in, or go out.   
      
     Marc Lewis was in my system, remotely, on Friday. He fixed the issue with   
   the "ping problem" (I had the router set to block all anonymous connects).   
   Later this weekend, he'll try to see why Internet Rex isn't responding.   
      
     I'm also trying the echomail tossers with GT Power BBS software, because the   
   netmail routing with Virtual Advanced is screwed. If a test netmail message   
   goes out OK, then except for a couple of networks that are doing QWK   
   Networking, I'll go back to FTN.   
      
     Of course, if my internet is out, or if thunderstorms are in my area,   
   everything is offline...as lightning dances around here like an ungrounded   
   Faraday cage during thunderstorms.
