Doug, I"m on ATT/Worldnet, and for the last week or so, I've been
able to connect to E-bay, but my terminal becomes very unstable
there. This only happens on e-Bay. Freeze-ups, crashes...happens
everytime. Your trouble may not be entirely with Earthlink.
I don't know what's causing the problem at my terminal, but I do
get an error statement mentions something about a connection to
aol.ads everytime the problems occur.
More likely, there's something going on at e-Bay. Your symptoms
and mine may not be due to problems with our respective ISP's at
all.
