DSL, as if Okay, I was going to restrict myself to mere updates of the previous Doing DSL post. But there's only so much flashing of amber and green, of endless hours on hold listening to tasteful classical and jazz music, and interactions with tech support whose assumptions clearly range from "She's probably a bored housewife" to "Maybe she has actually done some wiring as she claims."
After the last call, which came to an unsatisfactory conclusion at 11:45 tonight, my restraint has been overwhelmed with peevitude.
I will, however, give a shout-out to my Earthlink tech man Gene in Harrisburg, PA who at least has a decent sense of humor and was sympathetic to my plight without being smarmy about it. Not that I feel somehow that this will lead to improved results or anything.
My line is apparently marvelously noiseless and swift, so if I do actually ever manage to hook up with the server, well, it should be all greased lightning after that. Perhaps I'll wake up tomorrow morning to a glorious steady green glow of connectivity. Hope springs eternal.
Yeah, right.
