I have just been on there.  Works like a champ.  It's a very
popular limited resource, you know, and the main ticket
seems to be getting on in the dead of night.  It's in the
Mountain time zone, I believe, so you might try getting up
at 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. your time.

The probability of getting connected between 0700 and 2400
CDT on business days is next to nil, I've found.

A couple years ago, things were much easier, but the service
has succeeded very well (and thanks to Keith and simtel20,
btw), and demand clearly exceeds supply.
