For a couple of days this week I was unable to access mail.1nol.com
but was able to use mail1.1nol.com. Now both resolve to 207.31.125.19
(in ORBS by the way). Go figure.
(I haven't used my 1nol.com address for anything except a couple of
test e-mails to myself, and I've already got one spam.)
More importantly, I could not acces my local dialup (popsite.net)
all day yesterday ("invalid login"), but it's working again now.

http://www.1nol.com/central/ seems to be the only way past the myway.com
loop to the 1nol signup page. I have no idea what's going on, but it
doesn't look good for non MS-Win users. I know it's free, but I'm having
second thoughts about supporting this crap.

My FreeWWWeb ppp dialup (uunet.ca) still works now, but I'm pretty
sure that mail and news (smartnet.net) are dead. All I really care
about is a free Internet connection that works with DOS and Linux.
Anyway, since this is off-topic for the Arachne list, I'm done talking
about it here. If I hear anything new, I'll pass it along to the survpc
list.
