Whew....glad you rang the chime Janis....

To make a long story short...after I redid the box and found my key foir
winzip, I noticed all sorts of stuff that goes and comes via the Internet
was not working.  

As I told Janis....today was the gunfight at the OK Corral.  My isp
insisted that all of the ports I normally used were open...even after I
told them based on testing with various third party services that have been
in business longer than they have, the ports were NOT open.

So, today when I set up a conference call with them, their corporate
offices, the Better Business Bureau and the Publc Service Commission, the
ports mysteriously tested open.

So, the echolist is back on line....you can submit updates via routed
netmail or via the internet.  The next step will hopefully get Bink online
on a more regular basis.

 JK> I was glad to catch him in ICQ.

Thanks Janis...appreciate the help.

cya,
