FRYS/OUTPOST are they out of business???

Has FRYS gone out of business ??

For a couple hours now I can't access frys.com, their online site. I get 403 forbidden.

(877)688-7678 online & store support disconnects after a couple minutes.

(40eight)487-4622 their ISP 24/7 live support number gets me an all circuits are busy response.

And I've tried more than a dozen of their dialup access #s without connecting.

Would be messed up for me as I'm trialing their dialup because it worked with Linux. Where my current ISP doesn't. I know this because they share 1 common access #. This # works for both in XP but only with FRYS un/pw in Linux.

I wonder if M$ bought FRYS to keep me away from PCLinuxOS-2007.

 

Add your other ISP in KPPP and try again to see if it might work now.....who knows ?

BTW bummer on Fry's

 

Their network COULD be going thru upgrades. I would try them in a few hours or maybe tomorrow.

I doubt they're out of business. They were doing pretty well for themselves but I dont know for sure (I dont want to drive 20 miles to my nearest store).

 

I can reach outpost.com just fine. Erik's explanation seems most likely.

 

I just got www.frys.com and www.outpost.com.

 

Well frys.com & the ISP are working. Guess I panicked.
