it's friday - 5/3 - 6:45 -
can't get our email from WWA - 
seems like the temp area (where mail gets copied) is full - or no space - 

it seems that as time marches one - there are several things that you 'contract' for with an ISP - 
	local access - dialup, ISDN, leased line
	local servers - like email, web hosting, news, dns, ftp, gopher -
	backbone access - to the rest of the net
I expect that all local services that I 'contract' for will be up and running - 
I don't hold the ISP responsible for backbone response time (beyond their control)
However - I do hold them responsible for THEIR local systems being up and responsive - 
Great article in InfoWorld from Bob Metcalfe about contracts with ISP's - 
	None say anything about really having any services up and running - 
	Mostly about the things you can't do and their ability to cancel your account - 
	No commitment at all to providing up time and availability of services....

as things like local access become a commodity - (MFS +UUNET)
then the other areas become much more strategic - 

I opened other accounts around town since WWA was failing in the 'local access' part - 
now/today - the mail problem is back - 
	not a good sign -
