RS beat me to it, and that remains the story. Unfortunately, the technology that the Mudcat uses to run the discussion forum and the search page is not readily available on the net, so we must host it ourselves. The Mudcat and my other company Onstage Media would love to have a higher bandwidth, and a more reliable connection. The blame lies with Bell Atlantic and my ISP Voicenet. I don't recommend doing business with either of these companies. The cost of switching (one obviously more than the other) is staggering so we're in a bind. Competitive companies and money are coming soon, so hang in there, as will we.
