Okay, I've fingered all the wiring inside the house. The little yellow 
lights continue to disappear. I go outside to the wires and mess with 
them. Presto, kick-ass speed reappears, Linksys router is very colorful 
and flashing. Empirically, I see a connection (pun intended.) I'll be 
back later with more gripes if it goes out again.
 Frankly, Nileen was really pissy about it since I disconnected her 
dialup extolling the advantages of the high-speed connection. Well, when 
misshunt.com can't get email, she can be a bit annoyed. Seeing that I am 
the house geek, I have to fix it pronto.
 Life goes back to normal for a while. Enjoy, Roger (in Raleigh)
