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 - Phil - /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ Imagination is more important than knowledge.....

I have been on at wwa, since 6:30am this morning, 4-3-96, with my
e-mail program checking for new mail every 10 minutes. Zero problems
connecting to the mail server.
