Yes, it appears that iinet either fixed what was wrong or 
got whoever else was responsible to get it fixed.  It now 
works from my home and also from work, where both did not 
work consistently for several weeks.  I don't know if I will 
find out WHAT was wrong, but apparently David Brooks made 
inquiries at iinet on Thursday or Friday, and somebody did 
something.

I think it was VERY important that with all of your help, we 
were able to QUANTIFY that this was a widespread blockage.

Thanks!!!
