[Imc-web] FYI

[Mike Lehman]

That's interesting. I have Earthlink DSL, which is also delivered over 
SBC's lines. It hasn't had a hiccup in the last two days. I'm not saying 
what Soltec is saying is false, just wondering what their special 
problem is...maybe it's a geographically determined problem and my side 
of Vine St. is OK.
