[TriLUG] Verizon.net hates me

[Carl Crider]

if i may inject this. i have had very bad luck with verizon support. we have
a remote
location that runs their DSL, and it was down for 2 weeks before we "found
the right person".
sorry to drop a negative on top of your issue, but i hope you have better
luck than i did.
