 sure have a lot of on and off line notices that I never observed before
this started. am backing up the wireless with a linksys stick. so I do not
know if am running off of wireless via my 2wire041 modem or from the stick.
will do some testing to know if this comes from a Vonage modem tied in to
AT&T high speed internet or the 2wire AT&T modem. AT&T said it would not
work but once I saw that the speed was sufficient, I've managed to do what
they said would not work more than 20 months until an AT&T substation rework
was done a mile away. Am a guinea pig amidst the AT&T and Vonage conflict.
Vonage liked me being involved on that.

Again many thanks on making me think a bit. Sorry I have not really said
anything but it feels good to be talking about results.
