 Yes, I do.

 In a privious message I posted some screen captures links.

 It's looking more and more like the ISP has some ports closed. This is
 a new developement.

 But if that's so, why do the links work for me?

 http://bnb.synchro.net and bnb.dtdns.net both work fine here...

 I sent Charter a message asking if the BBS ports are indeed closed and
 if so, would they open them.

 I talked to a rep sometime ago about this same topic. We found the
 problem lay else where and no ports were closed. But that was then and
 this is now.

 If I learn anything, I will post more here.
