I have net access again. Have pulled updates and the build has been running for about ten hours and has prceded past the step "expat deliver", so I have high hopes. The build of git on Windows proceeded for about three hours before failing for missing `propmt`. Until my next connectivity problem, I no longer care. I am not sure why the ftp port is a security exposure, but that restriction cut me off from documents I have stored "out there".

Sorry for the noise, but restoration of connectivity had been promised "soon" for most of the time I was disconnected. Maybe I will be able to get a bug report filed to make life even a bit busier <grin />.
