That may be the case. I know that for some strange reason that was not
available in my area when I got DSL... I have learned that most things at
Verizon are not done for technical reasons but are because of the
braindamaged whims of what ever the techie on the phone decides.
But that is another rant...

Yes I heard the same thing last November "It was in beta"... Since I know
that I have written full CAE appllication frameworks and put two applications
to market in that time. I can only assume that their programmers or
contractors are dead. No-one can be that stupid or lazy and still have a job
in this market, I have seen more complicated things written in bash shell.

Hrm, I did not hear that one. How do you get the password and UID then?
I have found with Versizon that the more you call them the more stories you
get.

Why are you dropping DCA for Verizon? Or is that a dialup line?
I personally have Verizon but have been looking arround at other options,
unfortunately the demand out in my area is pretty weak for anything more
advanced than dialup.
