The last site I dealt with took _3 weeks_ to close their amplifiers once they were notified. And this was a multimillion dollar publishing company.
Wow, you sure get them to act quickly! How did you manage to get a big monstrous behemoth like "corporate america" to move that fast? :-) Solving technical problems does requiring a couple things. The first is the technical background to know what the problem is and how to deal with it. Usually the big corporations do have at least someone that knows this. The second is to get management approval. And managers do not understand things like smurf. They do understand things like lawsuits, and other financial incentives. In a few cases they can understand things like "we won't be able to communication with a large segment of customers due to being blackholed" when someone explains it to them in terms of $$$. -- -- *-----------------------------* Phil Howard KA9WGN * -- -- | Inturnet, Inc. | Director of Internet Services | -- -- | Business Internet Solutions | eng at intur.net | -- -- *-----------------------------* philh at intur.net * --
