God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" I have a neigbour whose firm uses xDSL for the internet. The router setup they have blocks all connection between the security server and the xDSL modem so that they can, at a moments notice, disconnect the line. If the router gets an electrical jolt, which it has at times in the past then it forgets the xDSL number and the line is lost. The price they pay for service they can afford.
