Me agrees with that but it is blocked above them and they can't get them to stop it. It does tick me off sometimes too. > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # traceroute -n mail.exceedtech.net > > traceroute to mail.exceedtech.net (65.116.46.23), 30 hops max, 40 byte > > packets 1 63.152.9.43 121.969 ms 120.002 ms 123.893 ms > > 2 63.152.43.189 123.963 ms 119.943 ms 119.958 ms > > 3 63.152.126.13 156.027 ms 159.922 ms 155.967 ms > > 4 205.171.31.9 155.920 ms 156.014 ms 159.886 ms > > 5 205.171.8.146 175.994 ms 179.910 ms 176.014 ms > > 6 205.171.21.62 179.964 ms 175.912 ms 179.924 ms > > This is crazy...this is all on QWest's network.

They appear to have had a meltdown. They said they were having trouble with everybody when I called after my nap. I was here at home but they did give me a new number to dial in too.
