I am writing to this list to make you all aware of a problem.

I can no longer upload to hobbes.nmsu.edu. As the developer of various OS/2 
& eCS software,  this is a pain in the a**.

Probably what has happened is that my ISP(neuf.fr) has been blacklisted by 
hobbes. This can  happen with a mega ISP like neuf.fr who has millions of 
clients. But I have no proof of this.

So I wrote to the hobbes admin. Twice. Once via the neuf smtp relay, and in 
case that was blocked, via a totally different relay. Both times being 
careful to be very polite.

To date (8 weeks later) I have had no response from hobbes. Not to say if 
neuf.fr is blacklisted (or not?), no information about who might be 
blacklisted, or why. Nothing!

So what am I to do. Change my ISP? ...and what happens when the next one 
gets blocked? Change again? How can I complain to my ISP when hobbes won't 
talk to me? Or must I treat hobbes as yet another dead OS/2 site, and 
ignore it? How do you feel about the hobbes archive being incomplete?

Ok, if hobbes were a free service, I would just presume it was dead. But 
people are donating money to this, and should be made aware of what they 
are paying for!

Yours,
Peter
