Net 249 is not the Ottawa area; it's the Lake Ontario area. Trenton and
Hamilton, and surrounding areas. Don Guy is listed as Carlton Place,
Ontario; I have no idea where that is. If it is near Ottawa, than it could
be that the Ottawa area net is no more. The node I link with is Robert
Huff, who is located in Ottawa, but has parachuted into another Region.

Hmm... well, I don't have any direct links to Net 249, but I do have a
direct link to 261/38, as well as direct links to Net 229. I can send out a
few netmails if you want.

Not quite sure what your problem is... I know that 261/38 links directly
with 249/100. Is 249/100 not properly linked with 249/176? If 249/176 has
internet capabilities, or even a LD phone plan, I'd be happy to set him up
here with a link if it can help to solve his problems.
