Ah,  a way to wave the "No, I am not a drooling idiot flag", I like it.  
The earthlink techs never believe me that ATM actually doesn't stand for

possible the acronym "ATM" is just a couple of characters too long for 
them and causes a buffer overflow.

more effectively than the consumer grade stuff.
