The way I figured it, that prime.spl file simply has the results to send to
the server, so it wouldn't really matter if it was sent from the server that
actually did the work or not. Doesn't seem to make any difference, so I'm
happy.
I'd be happier with my DSL connection back. :(

Good question. My problem is because I was a PhoenixDSL customer that was
sold to Megapath and then sold to Telocity. Telocity is now DirectTV DSL.
Good grief... changing hands that many times, I'm not surprised they've had
me out of service for a month and a half.
When I made my daily call to tech support to URGE them to do something, the
recorded message mentioned an outage in (Chicago maybe?) it said that it was
expected to be down for about a week. A whole city out for maybe a week.
Yow!
My guess is that the economy, being in this tech downturn, is having an
effect now. Companies are laying off employees since that's usually the
easiest short term way to cut costs. Of course this creates other long term
hassles, like service tickets piling up beyond belief, but aren't the
shareholders happy? :)
