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.


Likewise, except I do recall an outage that was longer than what I
would call brief. They certainly haven't been perfect but hey, what do
you want for a free service?

AIOE, on the other hand, used to be down frequently, sometimes
for a week or more at a time.


Every time I tried to use AIOE they were down, so I gave up even trying
them. Bad luck on my part I suppose, but still.
