to my ISP and hopefully they'll do something) and for others who may be
interested in getting onto IRC

were you on the channel #ledzep? WEre you on a newnet server?

irc.eskimo.com (ports 6660-6669)
irc.assassination.org
irc.salamander.com

undernet and ircnet servers will also work, however if you go to efnet you
will come across anoyther #ledzep....and you are more then welcome to go
there too, but you won't find me there....the guy that runs that thinks I
am a pompous asshole so I don't go there. :)

I don't know what softrware you are running, but all you need to do is
connect with one of the above server s with an IRC  client such as mIRC
for windows or ircle for Mac......then you type /join #ledzep and
voila...you're there. :)
