: NW56/Megapop has two sets of dial-in ports in this area, based on the

: almost sure each set has its own phone lines which might not be busy at
: the same time.  Have you tried both sets?  And if so, what was the
: result?

These are the number I normally use:

Los Altos             (650) 472-9615
San Jose North        (408) 907-9615
San Jose West         (408) 850-9615

The only local 0155 number is actually in Sunnyvale, and is the one
you suggested some months ago that I quit using because it was 
being phased out, as I recall....

Anyway, I'll try using it, and see if it works any better.  I'm not
talking about the occasional busy here, by the way.  I'm talking
about being unable to connect with 20 redials this evening, and a
pattern of being unable to connect in the evenings and on weekends.
