BAD NEWS - ON NOV.5th Total.Net SHUT DOWN MY SITE - Alternative Montreal &
beyond at
http://www.total.net/~altmtl/ claiming that I have been recieving too much
traffic.....

It appears I have been using over 700MB/month & the limit is 50MG -

See for yourself:

Dear Client,

Please note that your web page had been suspended. At your next billing 
date, your page will be reinstated automatically. It will remain active, 
unless you surpass 50 megs of traffic again. 
For users whose sites generate more traffic then the allotted 50MB/Month, 
we have the following two options to serve your sites better:

-For an additional $10.00 per month, your traffic limit can be raised to 
100MB/month, giving you 50MB more traffic.

-For an additional $20.00 per month, your traffic limit can be raised to 
150MB/month, giving you 100MB more traffic.

Should you require more bandwidth then 150MB/month, please email our 
corporate sales department at: corpo@total.net.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

What this means is that you will not be able to access my site again until
dec.2nd, at which time I hope to have found a solution to my problem. I
welcome all suggestions or solutions to my problem....

I will try & divide up my site & place it on "free homepage sites" such as
Geocities & AngelFire....

Sorry for the inconvenience

Travis Geko
