Back door

So I discovered that I can still ftp to my World account, even if I can't telnet in. Went in and grabbed everything from my main directory other than the mailspool. I'll still be peeved if I can't scoop up the mail before I close the account, but at least I've got the other stuff.

If you're looking for a replacement shell account, I can recommend my current provider, JTAN. SSH (no telnet), FTP, web space (with CGI), generous disk space, sane people, $99/year. If you sign up using this link I get a small kickback (something like $5?), but that's not why I'm recommending them (and that's also why I made a point of giving the "plain" URL). I've been using them for four years (since my previous provider became unreasonable) and am very satisfied.

As of noon, I couldn't ftp, email, access their website (which was sort of up yesterday), nada. Except their modem talks to my modem. Not very helpful.

The favorite error message runs something like, "None of the known name servers are responding."

It would be convenient to find a workaround to this. At the moment, I don't care about other services, though - I WANT MY EMAIL!
