BTW if you are thinking of switching to Earthlink from your current
ISP DON'T. Earthlink has out sourced all phone calls for help and

accounting

to India and the Philippines. Assuming you have the patience to go

through

half an hour of telephone button pushing. Getting any coherent  help

out

of them is impossible. It is nearly impossible to talk to anybody in

the

company here in the states. I am kind of locked in so I cannot easily
switch but I would if I could.

They also play games with me. They accept six out going messages  in
a row and then the Earthlink dial up mail server stops responding.
I have a trick for getting around that but if they knew the trick they

might

come up with a way of circumventing that too :) I know this as Linux
has  a program called pppstats that gives a second by second read out

of

incoming and outgoing email traffic. You can see the outgoing request
from my email program with the response, if any, from Earthlink. After
about six messages no response. I paid a premium for "unlimited
internet access" and I expected to have it.

I found the corporate location in Atlanta
Georgia and the corporate phone number is 404 815 0770. They are only
open to 5 PM EST so I have not tried calling that number yet. More

tomorrow.

Anybody know of a good place to host the ACRE web site. It must be

able

to handle web sites of greater than 10 meg. Preferably 30 meg or more
and allow monthly traffic of several gig. Earthlink's limit is

currently

10 meg web site and 1 gig monthly traffic. Info you will only find by

reading

the fine print on the Earthlink contract.

P,

    Try ATT WorldNet for a dial-up server.  You can get up to 60 GB of

drive space to host a website.  As for the 'traffic', you'd have to ask
or log on to the website for specific details.

    They're always listed as one of the best ISP's.

Thanks Jack. I used to be with them years ago. They were pretty good.

Paul,

I passed along your e-mail to my computer expert son and he suggested
the following:
 "Use 1and1...it's pretty good service and fairly inexpensive. Plus it
should solve his email problem. It's www.1and1.com."

FWIW.
