Greetings All:
Over the last several days the Earthlink dial-up number in Boise (447-0020) has been dropping the line 80-90% of the time during access attempts.
After consulting with several friends we are theorizing that They have set their system to drop the line instead of returning a busy tone. This would have the effect of disabling the auto-redial function on the home users' machine, and giving them (Earthlink), more (false) capacity.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a sound theory or are we all being paranoid? Is this even technically do-able?
Thanks
R.Lee
