[TenTec] Found out why no Ebay

As I previously mentioned, I had bid on a Ten-Tec power supply on ebay.
Since Friday, I haven't been able to access any of ebay's pages.

A call to my ISP's tech service explained it.
I'm using Earthlink/Mindspring/Pipeline (all part of Earthlink).

For several days the Earthlink servers haven't been able to route to
Ebay. This problem relates only to Ebay. The customer rep admitted that
it seems like someone has filtered out Ebay, either by accident or due
to a prank. So far, Earthlink's engineers haven't figured it out.

Since Earthlink is the 2nd or 3rd largest ISP in the U.S., 
it's got to be hurting Ebay.

I know that this isn't strictly Ten-Tec related but thought some might
be curious.

73,
Doug
