well i have been away for some time... my ISP whent bankrupt....
here in lebs we do have modem conections to great ISPs but for the poor folks there is a nother option,,.. (since every one pays for local calles here and the phone company cheats i had to give up my phoneline becuse of a $3000 bill) what they do here is get a 128kb microwave link and some satelite downstream links and throw a few cat5 cables to hubs from one bldg to another (very mesy and unprofetionaly done) then they use wingate (crapy proxy for a network of 100+) so the conection is like shit... most of the things i would like to do on the net do not work... like most file sharing programs, net 2 phone type programs,,, and worst of all SMTP..... (i dont do web email)
oh and the conection is not always up.. .lots of latancy and conection timouts.. ... but hay i am back on line.... sort off...
