Me, too.  Night before last, I noticed that as I dialed in from my Linux box,
it was taking forever to connect.  So I dialed in from an ordinary phone, and
got nothing.  Tried again, and got nothing.  Tried again, and got a carrier
signal.  So I tried dialing in from my Linux box again, and connected just
fine.
 
Might there be a bad modem in the pool?
