Astound user webspace
Astound have nice fast cable internet, and supposedly I get 10MB/user of web space. I'll be darned though if I can find anything in their web pages, or in the printed Internet Get Going guide, which tells me how to use it.
But no worries; a bit of poking around with likely hostnames identifies the following:
FTP upload: ftp to users.ca.astound.net (or ftp.ca.astound.net; same IP address); login with your email username/password; put files in the public_html directory.
Web server: http://users.ca.astound.net/username. Their web server serves index.html or index.htm as the default page for a directory.
Minnesota Astound customers replace ca with mn as usual.
Oh, and while we're at it: they don't tell their customers about NNTP service either, but it exists. Newsserver at nntp.astound.net.

We had rcn before, and had it there (slow giganews), but even that disappeared in the last few days...
