So either the > bridge is flakey or Verizon is wacked. I'm betting on Verizon. I've had a recent spat of problems wherein Verizon techs showed up to perform service on the NID through which my (old A)DSL line runs and managed to disconnect me in a variety of ways (couldn't figure out which white went with which color... which is a bit excusable, I guess, because it's old style 5-pair with no stripes on the whites; mismatched pairs 26 and 27 on a 50-pair block; corrected the error on the 50 pair block after I'd worked around the problem, without also correcting the wiring I'd changed). Note that I'm a bit more prone to these sorts of problems as I live in an apartment... though that also means there's a better chance I don't have to hike up a telephone pole under cover of darkness to fix things. If it's this sort of problem, no software logging will help; go to Radio Shack and pick up a telco toner and linesman's headset (that is, a beige box) and go fix it yourself. Waiting for Verizon to come back and fix their error takes weeks... -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
