>From IBM Global Network's Help page:

"G. Why did 56K work for me at one time or work from other locations?
56K may work for you then suddenly stop or never work then suddenly start
working at any time. Also you may plug you modem into to another location
around the corner and obtain 56K connections or dial another access number
or provider and obtain 56K. This is all normal because the availability of
56K depends on your call routing which may change at anytime. You also may
notice you can obtain 56K connections only at certain times. This is because
your phone company may have different routing schemes based on the time of
day. Again there is nothing an ISP can do regarding these issues."

Normal = unreliable when normal means 56k may suddenly stop working at any
time, or suddenly start working....

Of course, I've been saying that since July of last year. <g>

Aloha,
Richard
