Message #1175 from ED_L at Mar 3 2000 6:15AM Use Brown & Co. - almost every morning between 4 AM and 6:30 AM have been getting the message "Sorry, we are experiencing technical difficulties" (of course they never respond to your inquires asking when service will be available or what is the nature of the problem). << Unless you try to reach them between 9:30 and 10 a.m. - then they are up but too busy and you can't access your account either. One way to work around this is to lose massive amounts of money by "guessing" what the stock you want to sell "might" do at 9:30 and place a limit order before the market opens, around 9:15 (which actually will allow you to get to your account). Of course, there are the times when you are able to access your account right after 9:30, but, should you be inclined to (for shame)place a market order, you might get confirmation 1 hour later. Makes for great fast intra-day trading. I finally said good-bye to Brown after 11 years.
