[ILUG] Subscription ISDN ISPs

[Michael Hinds]

This reminds me...

I dial into Indigo over a modem on a 1891 number. From time to time (and I
believe it's at peak times) the connection goes dead for a minute or two and
I can't ping, nslookup or anything. After a minute or two everything's back
to normal. 

Does anyone else experience this, and might it be that Indigo can't handle
the traffic?
