You are right, but I'm not about to give up.
I am still trying to figure out what is going on.

I tried a WHOIS lookup on the IP address 207.230.79.2 which is the one that
reports "Destination net unreachable", when I try to ping ftp.cis.uab.edu.

This is what turned up:

Seems to me that there is something very wrong with the routing here??

What on earth is Mann Travel doing with my Ping packets (Dropping them,
obviously ;-)

Something very strange is happening here. If someone could find out if this
company is a DeltaCom customer, we might solve this mystery yet.

Somebody please help!!
