I know this problem very well. What's happened is that there is some massive
corrosion somewhere in the switching boxes between you and the outside
world. Water leaked in, or something, and well, you have rust and corrosion.
It doesn't take so long to fix, but it can be very annoying.

Hey all-
Just posted a new sketch pic in the Sketches folder. It's one of
the ones from the "Ladies in Red" folio, due out in a few weeks (as
soon as I get the damn paper reams delivered here so I can finish
printing the "Mousetrap" folio. Think I'll give the paper company a
call tomorrow from work...)
I tried three different systems, and they all had the same result,
even after adjusting connection speed and port settings. The lower
connection speed seems to help a bit, though. Seems the problem is
with the wiring in the house. The "dead air" on the line is anything
but dead. Damn near sounds like a friggin' radio station tuned to
static. Reckon I'll be calling Bellsouth tomorrow, too.
Since my connection speed is so slow, I'm gonna use my lunch break
tomorrow to download a bunch of the fan art pictures, which I will
then burn to CD and bring home (and then install on my system). I
should be able to catch up on some posts tomorrow while at work too;
if not, I'll get them when I get home.
So enjoy the picture, and I'll be online tomorrow around noon-ish!
Gonna try to catch up on a few e-mails before going to bed...

PS- I'm not quite sure what Natasha's doing with her right hand in
that new picture, but I definitely know what Lori's doing! And I bet
Val is gonna kick her ass for it, too! >;P
