Tried the few IPs I had for news servers with no success. Inaddition,
last night I tried to set up a web site using Web Space. I can upload
with ftp and check that it's there. I worked once since then and took
4 minutes to start loading the home page. As I write this, email is
out again.

I've only has @home since last Tuesday night and I'm underwhelmed by
their ability to get anything to work reliably.
