Well, no e-mail from ring2me, and at the end of the day the number still
does not work. Worse, while waiting for it not to work the caller hears
horrible ads in auctioneer-speak. And looking around on the ring2me
website apparently the problem is that they have too many users and not
enough bandwidth to let all the calls connect. 

I guess I'll go off and look into Google Talk. But if that doesn't work
it's not so bad. Not being able to receive calls is not necessarily a
bad thing. :)
