All goes to show the internet is very fragile. I chuckle when people say the internet will always be available to the ordinary user. It was invented for U.S defense purposes, is paid for by porn, and can easily be shut down by thousands of hackers.
It is time we replaced the internet with a gloabal network of CDs sent via post.

Guys, use http://smokey01.com/menu to access Grant's site...it hasn't been hacked, nothing's amiss. His host's php upgrade broke the other page, that's all, and he hadn't got around to putting in a redirect.

You lucky people. Carrier pigeons are faster than the dialup we have on this side of the tassie. :)

RFC 1149 (Initial Proposal for IPoAC)
RFC 2549 (QOS Amendments to IPoAC)
RFC 6214 (IPv6 Amendments to IPoAC)

I wish Verizon would implement RFC 1149 + 2549 here in NC. I honestly believe it would be faster than the "4g" service I'm supposedly getting... it's gotten so bad that every time I try to load a page, my mind plays back the sound of a 56k modem... ugh >.<
