Oh, I see! 

Anyway, what did you all think of of Aer Lingus potentially laying
off loads of staff. I mean, this a general Irish discussion list,
isn't it?

You weren't exactly specific... If somebody's having trouble with
pppd or something, fair enough. If somebody's looking for dialup
information, well they should be looking at the webpage or the IIU
webpage. If somebody is wondering in general if Eircom are "having
problems", eh, well there's more general forums for these questions.

Problems? With the sale to Valentia? Dialling into Eircom.net? Eircom.ie being
a victim of that Windows virus doing the rounds? Eircom in trouble with the
ODTR?  There's loads of Eircom related problems. And not one of them to do with
Linux - If you're having problems dialling into Eircom.net and suspect Eircom
to be the problem, ring Eircom or post on ie.comp.

*guffaw*.

Ask a specific question in an on-topic forum and you might
get some help.
