 JH> he's on residential and they probably don't like him running this stuff.
 JH> He should switch to a business account or rent a cheap server.

 JH> Or his port being blocked could be operator error. I've seen everything at

 JH> I would wait until he gets his shit sorted.

He's got one of the provider's modems and can't access it's admin interface.
They won't do it for him either and have told him to buy his own modem.  I've
offered to chip in some.  I've got QWK working with mknet (ra software) and
irex's ftp tossing/scanning.  I'm still not getting anything out to him
though, only stuff coming in.  I'm trying to help him (and get on his net
which evidently did work at one point...).  I also had never run QWK for a
message net, so it was a learning experience.
