Clueless in Seattle (or nearby). Let's see... My customers can't get to MSN. I see that I don't seem to have a route to them. I send them e-mail to tell them there is a problem. The e-mail uses the network to ... sit in the outgoing queue until the problem is fixed. Oops! The reason it is imperative that there be a telephone number for an ISP is that it's really hard to use e-mail to contact an ISP if the network connectivity to the ISP is not working. It does make it easy to say that you are not getting any reports of problems when you want to go home early, though. :-) R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
