dafr, When I'm away from the office on business I tend to check mail twice a day and occasionally transfer a file. So entering my passphrase when I invoke ssh is no bother. This thread went off the initial path of why I could not reach the server until the iptools web site tried to reach it. I'm convinced that it was a Frontier problem because for quite a while Thursday evening and first thing Friday morning, it could not complete the request, either. And, from Wednesday noon when I tried to return a call from an office in Gresham I received only busy signals each time. A friend tried a local call to that office twice: one busy signal then a recorded voice that the number was not in service. Early Friday morning I was able to reach that office and leave a message. Both events seem to point to a telco issue that was apparently resolved.
