Yes, there have been
problems with the Team.Net mailing
lists, related web pages, FTP stuff and
such.  And it ain't
over yet.  It should all be fine by next week, though.
The current ISP providing Team.Net connectivity along with
several other
domains and network related services is Qwest.
Saturday, May 2nd, they cut off
my network access.  They have
been recieving complaints about "malicious
activity" from one
of my servers.  It has happened before.  The first time I
actually spent many hours on the phone over a period of
several days and found
out the nature of the "malicious
activity."

Someone too lazy or too stupid to
click on the 'unsubscribe'
link for one of the mailing lists was flagging all
incoming
Team.Net emails as spam.  Once I finally managed to penetrate
deep
into the Qwest support to find someone with more than a
single digit IQ, it
took me just a few seconds to remove the
braindead A-hole from the lists to
which they subscribed.

It happened again a while back, again I took the time
and effort
to finally get to the root of the problem and removed the whining
piece of human debris from the appropriate list.

This time I've had enough. 
It is so frustrating to have to
go through their entire little debugging
script *every time*
I talk to a new person about it:


Them:  What operating
system are you running?

Me:  Unix, FreeBSD 6.2

Them:  No, I mean are you
running Vista, XP or Windows 98?

Me:  Like I said, I'm running Unix, FreeBSD
6.2.  I am NOT
    running Windows, just like I told all the other ...



You
know, a lot of people who just use computers as a basic
appliance would not
understand the details of that conversation,
they have no need to.  But tech
support people working for a
major company like Qwest?  How do people that
incompetent get
through the first job interview?  Do they have anyone on their
staff who can even *spell* Unix??

At any rate, the problem that Qwest claims
I have is still
not resolved, they will most likely once again cut off my
network access soon.  As I said, I've had enough.

On Friday, May 8th I will
be changing from Qwest to XMission,
located here in Salt Lake, for Team.Net
ISP service.  The
changeover will result in Team.Net services being
unavailable
for a few days.  IP addresses, nameserver data, etc. will take
a
day or two or so to percolate through the network.

So expect sporadic service
over the next few days, but it should
all settle down by early next week.
Thank you for your patience.

mjb.
