My ADSL modem/router revived!

[Walter Dnes]

  Don't know why, but after a week of vacation, my ADSL modem/router has
come back refreshed and full of zip... sort of like me after a week off.
The one change I noticed is that it's now at 2784/800 kbps down/up,
rather than the previous 3008/800.  I remember that IStop restricted me
to approx 2200, because they felt the line quality was marginal for 3
megabits.  Cybersurf automatically pushed it to 3008/800 when they took
over IStop's customers.

  One of the first things I did was to go to the setup screens and take
screen captures of the parameters.  I've already ordered a used Netgear
4-port unit from an ebay store.  It's too late to back out now.  And the
experience of a week on dialup has convinced me of the need for a backup
ADSL modem<g>... he says as he sits typing and downloading Gentoo updates
and listening to a 64Kbit internet radio station.
