     You know Ed, believe it OR NOT!, sometimes I have to be told more
than once something before I understand it, or accept it.

     Aw, now we are getting on the slippery slope of interruption.

     If your modem/router effects how "I" have to enter configuration data
into "MY" computer, then "I" have lost control.

     That is the way this system is currently connected.

     It is the week end and I am busy with home improvement work. I'll get
more into it come the week days.

     Based on my experience with my DLink DI604 router, I thought I
could/would learn the Fixed IP Address range from the Zyxel Prestige 643
if I could get into it configuration pages.

     I download the manual the other day.  That is another thing to do
this coming week, print out all 79 pages and read / study it.
