Actually there are several options for highspeed service in my area. Unfotunatly the one I have is the only one that I could find that had the combinatiion of features I needed for PBW, good upload speed, fixed IP, permission to run a web server 24x7, a low enough monthly cost to make it possible to support via voluntary donations. If all I wanted was highspeed access for my own personal use I could take my pick of several decent choices in the area.

What I learned is if you are moving your DSL, get a new phone number at the new location. I thought I was doing the right thing keeping the old number. It turns out if I had gotten a new number they could have turned on the one without turning off the other and the down time would have been shorter. Unfotunatly by the time I asked the right questions It was too late to do that because I had to have the server out of the old place anyway by a certain date.

Oh, I think anyone could have made that mistake...who's to know about those sort of things unless you've gone through it before, Geo.

Any comment I made was directed toward all the readers about when representatives of the phone company tell you something, official or unofficial. THAT'S when you need to cock an eyebrow... .

Apparently, something has changed.
seiv.pbw.cc is resolved to 66.28.187.248, which has a 2 lines long web page saying "No web site is configured at this address."...

Default Re: PBW server is back up.

Currently seiv.pbw.cc is resolved to a temporary page that a guy set up for me. All it has on it is a page redirecting players to the temporary PBW site at http://home.covad.net/~geoschmo
The Last few days the redirect page has been intermitant. All I can assume is he's haveing some technical issues with his site. If you can't get to it you should be able to connect directly to the temp site though. The URL isn't as easily remembered though.

Sigh.

PBW still down and my stock of pills is running low.
It has been almost 3 weeks now, my withdrawal symptoms are beginning to be painful.
