It seems our friend in France is without his internet connection.
According to his blog, he lost his internet connection, spent three
days pay on a new reouter, and shortly thereafter lost his email and
web server.

"I finally connected with someone who sounded like a real technician
at France Télécom, during banking hours, and after making it clear to
him that I was not a standard dolt and that we could skip all the
cookbook questions (“Is the PC plugged in?” “Do you see the Web page
in front of you?” and so on), we spent considerable time discussing
the problem and my test results. He managed to convince me that it
might be the router on my side, even though this didn't seem entirely
congruent with the symptoms I had seen."

Can you imagine the hell that tech went through, having to argue with
a nonstandard dolt?

OMG I hope they recorded it.

The poor guy probably needed counseling though.

Or as the basis of a stand up routine, it could be as good as the
