Yep. MB not having a good day. Problem with a Cisco router. Haven't been to the mIRC room yet.

Router is having trouble. MB or Townsend (not sure who does what) does not own a backup router. No estimated time to fix. If you don't trade much, you'll get your data fees back for today. If you aren't charged data fees, they're not sure if they're going to do anything for you or not. Sorry if I sound disappointed or bitter. I am. Who the heck runs a data center without backup equipment? That's the whole beauty of this computing model - swap busted parts in and out rather inexpensively (compared to the way things were done in the 80's and earlier). MB says, "Don't trade" which implies they're not too confident this thing will be resolved shortly. So, Tom, how are things at Watley <g>?!
