the @ in the login wouldn't influence the network behavior, and i know from
an acquaintance who's also on earthlink--using a mac--that she has to login
with her full email address. on win & mac, subscribers have to download
proprietary dialup software and it's probably due to some aspect of that
particular negotiation that the network connection can't be completed
properly. have the earthlink techs totally refused to offer any clues? if so,
that sucks, and they would deserve to be boycotted.
these are some personal addresses of list subscribers who use earthlink. you
might want to get in touch with them directly to get some info on how their
connections are configured.
