I'm getting very suspicious about this ascend equipment that Demon has 
installed. Great that we can all supposedly get on line whenever we 
want (please don't flame me - I don't know how to do a 'tounge in cheek' 
smiley!); at least when we've worked out how to reconfigure our 
software. This just happened:

NOS tried to send 3 emails. The one to Denmark went off without any 
problem. Both the others, one to Cardiff and the other to a Demon 
member, timed out on the 'client server trying', failed to 
connect to gateway and gave up FIVE times in a row. I have 'trace on' 
and I was connected to one of the ascends.

I immediately logged in again and got a non-ascend line. The mail went 
off first time.

Are these ascend machines some sort of el cheapo gear or is is just 
that everyone has the wrong equipment/software and the ascends are so 
perfect they can't handle it?
