I would suggest a switch to Rice Bubbles.  It is a really nice cereal
and beats Corn Flakes pants down...

You would still have to power down in order to flick the switch, otherwise
you will risk blowing your CIA chips.  Do what I did and buy a second modem!
A 33.6k unit, such as the most excellent X-Link, will only cost you around
$220 at the markets or $260 in the shops.

I hear that they just got electricity in Port.  Now all they have to 
do is to figure out how to get it out of the shrinkwrap that it came 
in.
