I STILL can't cover my shorts. Datek, your system may be up and running, but if I can't reach it, it is USELESS to me. Please work with your ISP to diagnose this problem. I'm sitting on a T1, and can connect with the rest of the universe at this moment. Just for laughs, I pretended that the ISP that my employer uses is incompetent, so I also tried a dial-up connection to Mindspring as a backup, but I still can't reach Datek. It's not my ISP, guys. You just can't get there from here. Interestingly enough, while I was typing this, I received an e-mail confirmation for a trade I did yesterday at noon. It arrived here at 9:45 AM, 21+ hours after execution. Hmmm.
