Hmm.. I talked to another fellow who also had to relink his system there.
Sounds like the murphy guy was having some fun.  I hope you are all
re-connected now.

We had some fun yesterday - my coffee-pot must have shorted out and tripped
the gfci switch in the kitchen outlet where the coffee-pot was plugged
in... which is when we found out what else was on that particular circuit..
like _half_ the outlets in the computer-room which is off the kitchen.  My
system was (note past tense) plugged into one of those affected.  So poof..
there went the whole circuit 'til we found the outlet that had the
problem.. nice safety feature, but a dog to find sometimes Lol

That was in the early morning yesterday... after finally getting things
back up, I swear TWCable must have cut internet/phone/tv (love those
bundles Lol) so many times I lost count yesterday.. dead dead dead at least
6 times... wonderful day.  I checked all my msg. bases since that nasty
shutdown early in the morning could have zotched some stuff and it seems
all is ok... perhaps something weird like that struck over there as well..

Take care,
Janis
