Thanks J. I did think of this idea. Yes, both switches are running normal
at 1G to the best of my limited comprehension.
Today was fine; so I believe the trouble is/was upstream.
In the next few days I will further test my local LAN w/your suggestion. So
far, all local views appear to be running w/o a glitch. I can/will not yet
speak to my current xdsl modem. Do not wish to go there yet. Maybe just
another odd day in the Southeast perhaps.
Thank you.

As long as your switch can handle 1G/FD from the Yukon, then that should
not be an issue for the LAN connection.
As to the upstream post-router to the internet best test is to download a
really large file & see what throughput you get. Better still is to use a
multi-thread/connection download manager that can max out the pipe.

Soren,
Thank you again. I will save your traceroute suggestion for the next time
I get this odd dropout behavior. I really do need to try this cmd and
get used to using it.
I am listening to the same link today and there are no dropouts (yet). I
can only suppose that the problem really does exist way upstream and out
of my control. And, since my current isp in now AT&T (and/or BellSouth),
I am familiar with intermittent strange behavior. For all I know, maybe
someone was trenching in NW Texas and whacked through a buried fiber
backbone trunk.
I dug further into the Marvel diagnostic tool I have and find that my
current on-board Yukon nic is currently locked on "full-duplex" and
running at 1000baseT.
So, ATM, I believe any trouble appears to by external to my LAN.
Thank you again,
Duncan
