 Lennart,

    Good point. I will disable the firewall (shorewall) and see if
    this makes a difference. It would seem odd that - with the old
    modem - I experienced (sometimes intermittently) reliable
    connectivity with the same firewall settings. However, I am by no
    means adept in things technical, so I will gladly try this.

    Thank you,

    Matt
