SBC Yahoo DSL has a piece of their own connection manager
software, include that in the XP SP2 firewall and it works
like a charm.

Stupid, ignorant and lazy CSR always say that the problem is
MS because they can get away with blaming MS. The people
who call tech support are by definition, unable to
understand the facts, sort of like Democrats at a Kerry
rally. Or ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS NPR telling you the truth.

The people think the Constitution protects their rights;
But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome.
