I think you're implying here (but not saying outright) that their count of your number of connections can be off - so they think you have already N connections going while in reality you don't. So when you try to make a connection for real, it thinks you're over the limit and denies it. That happens occassionally with my ISP but that tends to time-out after a reasonably short while. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
