Sure would have been nice if my ISP had let users know that our DNS server IP numbers changed. It took me a couple of days trying to figure out what was wrong. The usually excellent tech support was clueless, other than to say that they just installed a new phone system. Other than this glitch, I have had almost no complaints about this ISP for the 5 or so years I've been using their services, which doesn't seem to be the norm. Glad there are a few independent ISPs still functioning.
One downside to the dialup problems I was having are the 200 spam messages that were trapped the last couple of days by my mail filter. I see that the most common subject line is now "re: your order".
