I think I would follow two avenues next time - the direct approach with
(or wherever the traffic is coming from) as well as with your DSL
FSU provider.
Your upstream should be able to assist in at least keeping the traffic off of your dedicated line.
Whether your DSL provider has the resources to sink the traffic may be another matter -- but they are at least in a position to help you and (since you are paying them) have an interest in dealing with you.
I hate to say this, but Ameritech/SBC is utterly useless in matters like this. I mean, at one point their redback was being nailed, and they didn't seem to care one bit. After 5pm, everyone with a clue seems to leave, and we are left with useless low level help desk techs. Our DSL service isn't bad - in fact it rarely goes down. The problem is that when we need their help with something out of our league, they are completely useless. Anyone know of a contact number for SBC/Ameritech that would be useful in a case like this? -------------------------- Brian Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group Open Solutions For A Closed World / Anti-Spam Resources http://www.2mbit.com ICQ: 8077511
