Unfortunately, Demon is comprehensively stuffed at the moment
(possibly a surfeit of Christmas Pud). Their emu, nameswerver,
newsswerver and support(?) line all appear to be bork3d which
is why this moose is using a handy (and reliable) firedrake
to access News through. (The firewall feature is _particularly_
intense, and trolls tend to get melted into a puddle of slag
before they reach the spool.)

Cadbury.

Ah... that would explain why I had to switch providers tonight. Cheers.

"Death to most fanatics!"

It looks like their internal nameswerver is toast, but the emu
clusterf**k was misbehaving well before that happened. The basic
connection is still fine (suspiciously fast, in fact.)

This moose will shortly be upgrading his Gradwell mail forwarding
to the full mail hosting option, and renewing the Supernews account,
at which point Demon will be reduced to "connectivity only" until
they manage to screw that up as well.

Cadbury. (Trying to find the router password so that the settings
can be transferred to a new box - at which point the Asus AAM6000EV
has an inexorable appointment with an anvil and a 4lb club hammer.)
