	   Maybe your provider is badly admin'ed?  

It's always possible, I suppose, but I doubt it.  I've been extremely happy
with Jerry and his crew over at Florida Online (digital.net).  I'd
highly recommend them to anyone in the Melbourne/Cocoa/Palm Bay area.
(What do you think... if I butter him up enough will I get special
treatment when I request yet another account?  ;-)

Besides, as I've said, the problems haven't been with my provider,
they've been with the sprintlink routers.  I can do traceroutes and
pings and get back failed redirects from xxx.sprintlink.net, not from
my provider.

Prime example, as I was typing this message, my remote screens froze.
A local ping of remote machine showed this:

flatline% ping beach.cis.ufl.edu
ICMP Time Exceeded from sl-mae-e-H2/0-T3.sprintlink.net (144.228.10.42)
 for flatline.vx.com (204.27.139.5) to 128.227.176.6 port 27681
no answer from 5.139.27.204.in-addr.arpa

This is a normal occurance not a random happening.
