[Lowfer] Internet problems?

[JD via Lowfer]

Thanks, guys.  This information tells me two things:

* The inability to access our server is a local issue with 
CenturyTel/Embarq, with whom I have been speaking now for an hour and 
55 minutes...until the dialup connection itself broke.  #$@!  I had 
just about finally gotten them to believe their DNS machines serving 
this area are missing an important block of addresses, and now I'm on 
hold while a new rep reviews the other one's notes.

* I need to get rid of those old advisory pages.  When I first created 
them, it used to be that the ones with .html (the original default 
extension for all web pages, way back when) used to be the ones that 
appeared preferentially if you only gave the domain name or a specific 
directory.  Ones with the .htm extensions (the relative newcomer 
Windows/DOS-friendly version) appeared only if you had specifically 
typed it in that way or had it in bookmarks that way.  Unix and clones 
treat those as two separate names, as do newer versions of Windows.  
Something has suddenly changed.  If/when I can access the server again, 
I'll check into that.

Thanks again!

John
