Yes, but Palm access providers still require a contract... I have a replacement modem coming from WISP in Cleveland, first one was defective, Minstrel III for my Palm III... $150 for modem with 3 mos free and a 12 month $50 per month contract thereafter for unlimited nationwide coverage.
The versions of detection software are for Unix/Linux platforms. With the proliferation of Win95/Win98/WinNT systems on cable modems, aren't many of these systems potential unwitting drones because of their relative lack of security of any kind? When will we see Win 32 detection software? Or have the attacks all been sourced to Unix/Linux boxes? New question: What efforts are being made to calm the public fears of lost data or insecure ecommerce sites when that is not the purpose or capability of a DDoS attack? Downtime is bad, but why panic the masses? Let the techies fight off the bad guys...
This service interuption has happened before and probabbly will continue for some time to come. If for any reason, the login server that the users account information is stored on is unavailable (and those servers do not appear to be replicated) then you can't login.
I do have hotmail.com, yahoo.com and netscape.com throwaway accounts and can get to HotMail today.
The architecture behind Passport is not yet robust. Maybe never will be since it relies upon NT.
Passport is part of Bill's attempt to gain enough market share to allow him to charge either a PI fee for the service or more likely become the credit card transaction processor.
