20 Here is another update. I talked to my ISP a lot today. They called
21 someone in to help them with it. They are having serious trouble with
22 everybody in my town and in some other towns as well. I took them a
23 copy of what ethereal got from one email send that errored out and one
24 where it worked fine. After a while I could not connect at all. They
25 fixed that. It was a god awful slow connection. Keep in mind I only
26 get 26.4K on a good day. Every once in a while I connect and it is
27 fast, as fast as I get anyway, and I CAN send email wth Mozilla. I can
28 disconnect and reconnect again and it is slow and I can't send email
29 again. Later on it works again.
30
31 They are working on it though. I can tell I am not the only one because
32 the best way to get in touch with them is over email. The phone lines
33 are busy, a LOT.
34
35 The guy that I talk to is really giving that ethereal report a serious
36 looking over. They are trying but they say I seem to be having the most
37 trouble. Right now, I am connected at 28.8K, which is really good for
38 me, and I can send email. This should be from Mozilla.
39
40 I just wish I had a second phone line so I didn't have to disconnect.
41 I'll be so sad if I get a bad one again.
42
43 Thanks for the help folks. Maybe things are going to get better. The
44 guy has been here a couple days now. Maybe he is making progress.
45
46 Oh, I think it freaked him out when I told him I was connecting to Qwest
47 instead of to them. I guess he didn't think we could find these things
48 out. LOL

50 While I am at it. Is there a GOOD place to go for them to research
51 errors? They had never even heard of google for Linux,
52 www.google.com/linux before. They use Redhat according to netcraft and
53 what they tell me. Maybe they have a heavy duty forum somewhere for
54 Redhat. A good place to download some good config files may help too.
55 I did that with iptables and it worked great for me. I still don't
56 understand what it did though.
57
58 That's the update for now. I may take another nap. This is making me
59 tired.

64 I hope it will let me send this with Mozilla. < crosses fingers >
