Man, your some kind of terrorist! Maybe guys will come in a 'short bus' to rough you up? Can you imagine how giddy the guys in the 'security group' must be? Of course this begs the question what they are securing. It is obvious the company has no value, intends to have no value, intended to piss of customers, intended to blow off support, and generally help their reps recommend other equipment providers. BTW, don't you just love it when that happens? They try to sell you on crap from company #1 and then when you get sick of that they comiserate with you and open the other side of their coat and offer replacements.

OK...
3Com has cancelled a post of mine in the totalservice user forums (news server access)...
Posted a mention to the RAS group that the post had been cancelled.
Few minutes later, I start getting timeouts on trying to connect to the totalservice news server.
So I call the 888 number for the Rolling Meadows location, punch 1 (voice-mail directory), and punch in the name Laureys, for Lance Laureys and get connected to Mr. Laureys who seems to be the person at 3Com that runs the news server (his account was the account that posted the cancel message).
(This narrative is from memory, so almost assuredly not exact quotes, but the gist of it is here)
I asked Mr. Laureys why it is that I couldn't connect to the news server.
Lance: How did you get my phone number?
Me: I used the voice-mail directory system.
(888)662-5010, option 1, spell the last name of the person you want
Lance: Oh...well...how did you get my name?
Me: Posts in the Totalservice User Forums
Lance: Oh...well...your network has been blocked by our security group for telnet'ing to zircon, and for posting inappropriate material in various places.
Me: I'm not sure what material that would be.
Lance: Well, you'll need to call our security group at...actually...let me get your contact information and have them contact you.
Me: Ok, Jeff McAdams, (502)966-3848 ext. 1153.
Lance: OK
Me: Thanks
