internet blocking problem ?

[Jon Elson]

THANKS to all of you great guys who have helped obtain data 
on this problem!

Here are some results:
For 26 users in the US and Canada, I get 11 that worked OK, 
and 14 that did not work.  Of the 14 that did not work,
6 (including me) got stopped at cogentco.

It seems that users in other countries had no problem 
(Sweden, Ireland, UK).

Thanks again for taking the time to help research!

Jon
