I’ve been wanting to ask for a couple of weeks and this looks like a good opportunity:

Is there an alternative ip for FR?

Thanks.

I don’t know if it’s an alternative IP but a great poster on the Yahoo Group gave us this...

I can always get in.

“Is there an alternative ip for FR?”

Yes. IIRC, it is on AOL.

We use it when the normal link goes down.

I’ve forgotten the actual URL.

Is there an alternative ip for FR?

The short answer is essentially "No."
The emergency site on Yahoo is so hopelessly arcane as to be useless to most users of Free Republic. Ever try to navigate a straightforward thread on that site?

Few Freepers are computer wonks or spend their 24/7 lives on the various flavors of internet access. Most of us have a life, such as it is.

There is a group on Yahoo that Jim set up for when the FR servers are down to get updates and any vital information to be put out.
