Had another thought: you could find a fairly cheap ISP in your area (other
than ERInet) and get a SECOND account to use as mainly a backup. You could
then access EFNet using that account. Also: if one ISP was down, the other
might not be down. And if you got an account with someplace like NetCom,
there's no way they would shut off access to _that_ domain--it has too many
users and is too huge.
