filing with DUATS

Anyone experiencing problems with this? Aside from the ADIZ and TFR crap.
I filed an IFR from LVK to SAC yesterday via duats and the clearance never came
available. The tower told me that only about half of the flight plans filed via
DUATS come up.

I haven't filed a flight plan in nearly five years (sigh), but prior to
that I filed 50+ a year for 6 years straight and never had one lost.
The line about losing half of the flight plans is likely a very gross
exaggeration, unless the system has went downhill very fast since I last
flew.


I found it strange. Back in 1999 when I was flying a C-340 for a guy, 80% of my
IFR plans were filed via DUATS and never had a problem.
I am wondering if this is something new or if I have just been lucky in the
past.

Could be a change, but that seems unlikely and nobody has complained
about DUATS here lately.
