Our upstream provider (SouthWind) has been experiencing problems with the routers that connect their DSL bank (which we're a part of) to the internet. Every so often, it decides not to route traffic for some addresses, and has been doing this for over a week. What this means to us is that some of our users are seeing periodic "blackouts" of the Phoenyx... you might not be able to reach our web site for as much as twenty minutes sometimes. Mail delivery has been delayed up to four hours, according to one report. Mail is not being lost, just delayed. SouthWind is working with Cisco to solve this problem. They're aware of the impact it is causing and have tried two firmware patches that were supposed to fix it, but they aren't working. I'll keep you posted as soon as we know something. Thanks for your patience and understanding, and if you've thought about recommending the Phoenyx to your friends, wait a couple days. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners
