Re: Dialin Access to Cable Modem

If you refer back a few posts, you will see that the dial up solution 
was offered as useful and inexpensive enhancement to broadband.  This 
was to allow for someone to use to dial-up to DOWNLOAD EMAIL when they 
were away from home - not as an additional 24x7 internet connection. 

The original suggestion worked well because the guy in question had 
internet access, but he needed dial-up to retrieve his Email.  I assumed 
there was some networking policy that was getting between him and his 
personal Email.   The suggestion fit well within the parameters of the 
original problem.

If  the solution doesn't work for you, perhaps you should stick with 
AOL.  I had not intended for my suggestion to be an invitation for bitch 
fest.  You don't pay for my analysis, so you do not have to listen to my 
advice or value my opinions.  (It also means that your blundering 
arguments don't mean dick to me.)

I appologize to the rest of the list for venting my irritation, but the 
sarcastic and superior tone of this post reminds me of some of the 
incompetent (l)users I have had to support.  They would rather whine 
about a percieved problem than figure out what the heck they really 
need.  (Of course, they probably wouldn't be able to communicate it 
clearly anyway!)  These buffoons make it almost impossible to complete 
an I/T project because the have no clue what they want, but they 
invariably come up with a reason why a particular suggestion will not 
fit their needs.
