Dear Cousins on the List: I have been having severe problems with my local server. It takes me about 50 tries to get online, then I'm cut off -- sometimes immediately, sometimess before a message can be sent or received. It is a frustrating and irritating situation. I have been unable to upload files to the website because of being cut off all the time. I have arranged for new service, but before I could get it, my new DSL modem got lost, and finally when it got here I haven't been able to get it installed properly, and the tech help says I need a faster CPU! I have 166, and they say I need 200 for the modem to work. Well, I was stretching my budget to get the DSL service, let alone a new CPU. So this is what is going on. I am sorry for the silences, and hope to have things rearranged soon. Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Carolyn McDaniel cmacdee@teleport.com ========================================= --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
