thanks Barkat...DATEK has always worked well for me,...EXCEPT ON THIS MAJOR TRADE. Actually it's good, because COMS is still up, but hard to believe it will stay up. OTOH, I learned long time ago, COMS is unpredicatable...major breakthrough though is beginning, and 20's are history, and who knows, maybe low 30s. Well, gotta go check on DATEK again.

It very rarely happens that all Datek quote servers go down at once - so you have to hunt for the one that is not down. Doing that on the Web is a pain. Take a look at the shareware prog I wrote - Medved QuoteTracker at medved.net (SI thread at siliconinvestor.com. It connects to Datek or a bunch of other RT sources on the Web to track user's portfolios, plot live intraday RT charts, give stock price alerts, track major indexes, show historical data charts etc.. Switching Datek servers is a breeze and you can go to another RT source if Datek is down completely.
