Yes, I do.

In a privious message I posted some screen captures links.

It's looking more and more like the ISP has some ports closed. This is
a new developement.

But if that's so, why do the links work for me?

http://bnb.synchro.net and bnb.dtdns.net both work fine here...

I sent Charter a message asking if the BBS ports are indeed closed and
if so, would they open them.

I talked to a rep sometime ago about this same topic. We found the
problem lay else where and no ports were closed. But that was then and
this is now.

If I learn anything, I will post more here.
