At the end of the month (April 30th), all dynamic-IP ISDN/Dual accounts
will switch over to the "@usb.com" extension, which does not have a limit
on hours that the "@isdn" method does. This will still have dual-channel
functions on the same access numbers used currently.
Three differences would take effect:
* Instead of starting with '50860', the username would start with 'en'
* The username would end with '@usb.com' rather than '@isdn'
(for example, "5086012345@isdn" would become "en12345@usb.com")
* The outgoing mail server (SMTP) would change to either of the
following:
star.eskimo.com, port 25
(less than 30 recipients per email; known to be blocked be some)
or:
mail.eskimo.com, port 2525
(no such limits, but non-default port number)
If your ISDN/Dual connection reaches the 200-hour limit before
the end of the month, it will be converted to the non-limited
version when it reaches that point. If the authentication on
your ISDN/Dual connection stops working, try these changes on the
same access number, or call us at 800-246-6874.
This doesn't solve things fully for those with Static-IP setups,
but we're working closely on that as well; perhaps the same
provider will be setup for statics shortly.
