Folks, The problem is: how to keep this short and maintain some logic... Okay, I'll start with the several times that thought.org was down during my migration from an OLD to a new server. Got that done late last month. Wife+daughter were at me whenever my system was down; finally I said, fine, you both order Comcast; I'll make do with my telco, Qwest. Yesterday morning the cable installer used our telco line and now we have two Internet feeds. --I'll spare you the 28 hours thought.org was dead; I'll just say that going to one's thinking-place and thinking-thinking-thinking does good sometimes. My *switch* needed to be power-cycled. Now I am back; now on to other things.-- A few of you have made mention of my only having one link to the Internet. Now there are two available: the telephone company and the cable company. Can I make use of comcast to give me a secondary nameserver, somehow, someway, I don't care how? My ThinkPad has builtin wireless detection; that much showed up when I was using Windoze. I have Zero idea about my Dell server. The long and the short of it is: can I take advantage of having two 'Net connections, and if so, how? -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
