As I review dialup usage in order to make alternate access plans as needed, I note that fewer than 50 people have used the dialups in the last week.  Although I’ve noticed usaged dropped off a lot this year, I didn’t realize it was that low.  If you use dialup, but haven’t logged in recently, let me know so I can make appropriate plans — yes, that means I’m looking at phasing it out, but I will provide for you so you’re not left in the lurch, if I know you’re using the service.

Apparently a lot of people are paying for dialup service and not using it, so many of you will see a rate decrease when this happens, though when it will happen depends on a number of things, mainly what happens with Integra tomorrow…

But the upshot is, let me know if you’re using dialup infrequently, so I can make plans…  Thanks!

Apparently, Integra (the telco I use for the dialin lines) charged me an extra fee recently and I didn’t notice — I have checkfree sending them the payment automatically. I just got a disconnect notice Saturday with a deadline of Tuesday for a $60 amount “past due”, and of course they’re not open this weekend, so there’s absolutely nothing I can do, if they really plan to turn off the lines. Needless to say, I’m *not* happy. I suspect they won’t actually turn them off, but just in case, I wanted to warn everyone about the possibility.

If it comes to it, I’ll make alternative provisions for access, post the info here and set up a voice message at 541-754-1531 with more information.

Sorry about this, I really am paying the bill, this just caught me off guard… I’ve sent them the $60 and left voice and email, so hopefully that will take care of it…
