I've tried eternal-september several times. They were originally
mozerella, and worked, but were down quite often, and I had to
sign up all over again when they lost the system records. When
they switched to eternal-september, my account was lost again. I
had to sign up once again, and shortly after that one would not
work. Again I signed up and used a different name. That lasted a
month or two before I could not connect again. That's when I gave
up on them. There's no reason a person should have to keep
signing up over and over, every few months or less.


I've had a Mozzarella/eternal-september account for several years, and
I've never had any of those problems, except for their occasional brief
outage. AIOE, on the other hand, used to be down frequently, sometimes
for a week or more at a time.
