[Duo2400] GLOD update

Many thanks for the advice from everyone! I called Bryan at DT&T yesterday, will pick up the 2400 today from the local shop and send it out to Bryan, current turnaround is 1-3 days. From my description he thinks it's possibly the I/O (?) board, but we'll see. I'll repost after I'm done paying.

Hi - my 2400 (stock) developed GLOD a week ago while being on battery power, and I need listers-advice please. I read Sydney's article on what to do in such case, was able to reset the 2400 twice for a short time (a few minutes first, then for about 30 min, running Norton, rebuilding DT, rese
