   confusion.]   
      
   This is an urgent message to the subscribers:   
      
   Yesterday, I got two letters in my mail box: one, from the company which used   
   to provide my Internet access, and the other from the company which bought   
   them out.   
      
   Coincidentally, I found out that I was unable to log in to the Telecom Digest   
   server: my ability to start an "SSH" secure connection had bee blocked. The   
   new owners' sent a glossy brochure telling me how great they are, and   
   providing an "800" number to call in case of problems.   
      
   I call their toll-free number several times, and spoke to several   
   people, and finally to someone who told me his name was "Thomas" and   
   who promised to solve the problem within an hour.   
      
   That was fourteen hours ago.   
      
   [snipped part of original]   
      
   I tried to reach the sales department at "Zito Media," just to ask what it   
   would cost to have the restriction removed. Nobody answered. If any of you   
   have a contact there, please ask them to get in touch with me, and thank  you   
   in advance.
