Marriage secured, at least until the next outage. Actually, by a fluke the internet went off where I am in Italy tonight for about 10 minutes. How I hate that red light on the modem. Makes me think again that I should have a backup system, maybe tethering a mobile phone. There is a competition in Ireland - maybe everywhere in the world - between ISPs to see who can lie best about internet speed. I suspect my ISP may be using their new modem, so called e-Fibre, at the limit of their functionality. Apropos of nothing, I recall being told by a Telecom engineer when modem speeds increased from 300bps to 1200 bps that it had been proved "scientifically" that this was the fastest speed copper wire could support. -----Original Message----- I hate those red/yellow lights also, perhaps I'm "addicted to connectivity". Don't know how often you got disconnected, but you might consider a "back-up connection". At home, besides my fixed lines, I have two gsm-modems, one low-speed (that came free of charge with one of my fixed lines), the other is high speed, but pre-paid, normally off) And of course switches, modems, firewall, mail-server on no-break power supply. ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
