Bob - actually, the recent Email response was not an auto reply -
or at least it was basically a one-liner  that said "we have procedures for this"
so - if it was NOT an auto reply and it took the time to type it out - 
then at least a "thank you"  for letting us know - would have been more appropriate.
It really is nice when a "customer" takes the time to inform their "vendor" of a problem with
the "product" and the vendor tells them to take a hike - or you have to call the right line
to report problems......... 

geesh -  ALL of these local ISPs need a big dose of reality and customer service.
they have no room for comlaining about Ameritech, or other hardware/software vendors,
unless they can reflect a better attitude themselves.

But - that would be contrary to the "gatekeeper" mentality - 
WE know UNIX, and WE know how to get around on OUR system - WE know the addresses 
you should be using - and WE know how to run a system - 
so - if you are too F'ing dumb to figure it out  - then YOU must have a problem!
nice overall attitude - don't find much of that attitude in real world MIS departments
 in real companies anymore,
at least not those still with jobs....
