- Has anyone seen Larry Snyder (larry@gator.rn.com) around here lately?
-
- I cannot seem to raise him by e-mail and am not sure whether he is away
- or not.
-
- I have a problem (much of which consists of a number of callers who get
- their daily mail and Usenet "fix" through my system). We turned off our
- newsfeed thru e-mail with Larry on 12/22, just before shutting our system
- down for a brief Christmas break. When I returned 12/28, I tried to turn
- things back on by e-mail as he suggested (he'd said he'd be around -- not
- going away for the holidays). But alas, I've been unable to get any
- reply -- not thru my normal UUCP connect to gator.rn.com AND not thru
- alternative Internet connections I maintain.
-
- The only e-mail received from gator.rn.com via UUCP since the shutdown
- was what appears to be an automatically generated "FINAL NOTICE". It
- indicated that my account was not paid and threatened disconnection
- by 12/27 if a payment of $120 was not sent by 12/22 covering the period
- from 11/92 thru 4/93. (And this was the only notice or invoice EVER
- received since signing up for access almost a year ago.)
-
- Unfortunately the system at rn.com that generated this is WRONG. I mailed
- a check to Larry Snyder on January 14, 1992 for one year's access. I think
- we actually started the newsfeed on or about January 20, 1992. Since I
- am unable to get a response from Larry directly on this situation -- has
- anyone else experienced such problems with his system?
-
- I would certainly like to find some way to turn on our newsfeed and e-mail
- service to Northern Lights callers for the remainder of our annual
- access. (Of course, at the same time, I am in the process of setting up
- an alternate connection and newsfeed for the BBS.)
-
- If anyone has an idea as to how to best expedite (at least temporary)
- resumption of this particular connection while the new one is being set up,
- I'd be most grateful.
