[CLUE-Tech] DSL QoS monitoring.

[Dan Harris]

I used to use AmericanISP also.  We had so many awful problems with our 
ISDN connection with them.  Their customer service was about the worst I 
had ever experienced also.  Brad is a good guy *if* you can ever get a 
hold of them.  Anyway, I don't have an answer to your question but I can 
speak for the unreliablilty of AmericanISP..

Good luck.
