It's Sunday at 3PM PDT...

http dosen't work.

ping times out.

tracert gets part way there, meaning it hit's a Village Press portal at
ameritech.net, but dies trying to find the bbs..

bbs are a bitch, sooo many "script kiddies" trying to crash you... bet they
went down for "maintanence"...

Did I mention I'm bringing up a CentOS 5.1 to replace may ancient
FedoraCore2 ?
