ryan, by "dead" i meant that i had 0.0 connection to the net. long-story-short, it was indeed the telephone company's modem that blew out. they were able to get one circuit working, and they were content with that. but i was still dead. this morning a telco technician [and friend] dropped by with his tools and after several calls to the office for my IP's and other info got me back online. I have no idea how their router/modem works; i have no idea how they were able to get my wife's PC back, much less my entire domain. (this is further OT, but FWIW, one guy suggested that a power surge may have broken the modem/router. 30-35 years ago a =real= modem ran at 1200 baud and was lightening fast. obviously, i haven't kept up... .) -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 8.57a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org Twenty-five years of service to the Unix community. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
