I finally got a chance to go to the local Alltel office that I deal with
and they gave me a phone number to a real tech.
It is interesting. He watched my connection, told me that it was a good
connection, but that I was connected to a Sprint tower, which he thought
was the problem.
I was running my PC card on a windoze machine because I know that is what
Alltel expects.
On a windoze, there is a graphic, as you know, that has help menus and all
sorts of stuff.
So he had me pull up the help menu and then go to, and I forget the exact
wording as I am back on my linux machine, something like specifications.
The last option on the help page.
That pulls up all sorts of stuff like your model number, etc.
He was interested in the PRL line. When I gave him the PRL number he tp;d
,e that I had the wrong number and that was why it was hitting on Sprint.
This is interesting. He told me not to power off, so sit there and watch
that screen and within a few minutes I would see the PRL number change and
that he thought the problem would be solved.
So I sat there and watched and in about 15 minutes, it changed.
Now you have to ask how they can do that to my machine. If they can do
that, what else can they do?
I have not had much time to watch the router tonight. Lots of things
going on, but it seems to be OK.
The worst time has been from 2:30 or so until about 10:pm, so by this time
tomorrow, I should know if I am better off.
So if you are still having a problem, get a tech to check your PRL and see
if you could be hooking up with a roaming service when you don't need to.
This ties in with the fact that the problem is during the period when all
of the kids are out of school and going to myface or whatever they call it
and the fact that we know Sprint does the load shedding thing.
Sure as hell, they were dumping me for the kids.
More when I know more.

You do realize that the major problem is that he can't get Alltel to talk
to him, right?

I used to fly a pretty sophisticated airplane with radios, navigation
equipment, radar, etc., that almost equaled the cost of the airframe.
I did pick up a little bit from that and I understand the difficulties.
I also understand that you can make it all work if you have the right tech
guy.

All they did was push out an updated PRL to your card. They did and
can do NOTHING to the PC.

Where in the Constitution is this right to privacy you are referring
to? It may have been legislated, but is not a constitutional right
like the right to freedom of speech.
Are you one of those kooks that really believe that EVERYTHING you say
is monitored? I deal with those calls all the time.
I love it when a customer asks me about something, state they were
told different and that if I would just pull up the record of that
conversation I would see that - as if EVERY conversation made with a
CS rep is recorded, and I have access to it even if it was. That
person would be the first person to yell invasion of privacy it good
old Uncle Sam was monitoring, but EXPECTS it from us. Double
standards here, no?
