I apologize for such a late answer to your email---Ed and I were on a road
trip and more (don't bother to snicker---we're moving ass out of our home
state, which is the reason for the road trip!).

The answer is NO, these Frontiernet.net idjuts haven't even acknowledged the
problem, much less solved it. It looks like the idjuts have lost a
subscriber, but we need some down time to make the transition. So, how do
you feel about earthlink?

OTOH, I do need to make a run to Penzey's---the list is growing! Send me
your phone number via personal email to me (glad I can receive, if not
send), and we'll make a date.

I've been with Earthlink for 3+ years. I don't use their news server,
though -- it sucked. If you sign on with them, please use my name --
I'll get a free month or something. For an email address to give them,
use (barbschalleratearthlinkdotnet).

I've been pleased with their tech support when I've had a problem
(always minor). Where are you moving to? My BIL said he was going to
strap a snow shovel to the roof of his car and drive south until someone
asked him what it was. :-) Weloveithere,weloveithere,weloveithere.

Actually, EL's news servers are greatly improved in the last year. There
are "East" and "West" EL news servers now instead of just one. Since this
development, they are just as good as anyone else....

Plus which, new subscribers get either 3 or 6 months at $9.95...a good deal.

I'd heard about that, but am content with the server I use now.

Moving to Colorado Springs. Going to be a process, so will be about 18
months or more. Got our home and the lake house---the lake joint goes
first, obviously.

So, I take it that you're not all that enamored with earthlink. I'm asking
for us and for my daughter; particularly for her because she does business
with email, and she's getting paranoid with earthlink. All information and
thoughts welcome!

Ob food: Texaco truck stop restaurant on the hwy 30 exit west off I35,
south side of Ames, Iowa---they make and serve fresh potato chips, like to
die for!!!

Earthlink's service is pretty good - better than I had at Concentric over
the last couple of years. The customer service is not bad but nowhere near
as good as Concentric's was. <shrug> Barb doesn't use earthlink's news
server. I would not either except I can't get connected to the German server
I used to use for some reason. Earthlink's news service is much better than
it used to be. If I ever get enervated, I will try to connect to the German
server again.

On the contrary. Sorry if you got that impression. I've been very
happy with their service. (I'm on a dial-up) Their mail filter is
good, though it takes some effort on the user's part to effectively use
it. I've seen no need to change. If your daughter is and will
continue to be in the Twin Cities, I've heard **nothing but good about
VISI.com.**

I'll second VISI -- been a customer of theirs for years. Excellent
service, very rarely a busy on dial-up. Leaving VISI was the one bummer
about going with a cable modem.
