But in which direction is the problem? Could be that the ISP, Verizon in 
her case and SBC in mine, is blocking outgoing access. But I can't see 
why except for incompetence or error.

On the other hand, it could be the target server rejecting the effort to 
access it. Looking at your web site, it appears you are aggressive at 
blocking troblemakers. I've heard of other cases where aggressive sysops 
block a whole range of addresses based on bad behavior by someone in the 
block. In some cases, there isn't much impact. In others, a major ISP 
may be blocked, affecting many users.

I don't have the knowledge to find out what is happening myself.

This is, by the way, a sudden onset thing for me. I've been accessing 
TOPE regularly for years. Suddenly, maybe 3-4 weeks ago, I couldn't.
