Thank you Harry!

I am still down but have managed to get an Aircard for my laptop so I can get in every couple of days to check what is happening and check my email....  As soon as the high speed iss back up I'll let everyone know...

I can identify with you Jim, I have been down for over a week.  Just got up and running today.  A big power spike came through over a week a go and took out a breaker, my surge protector, computer, and my backyard bug zapper.  The neighbor lost their computer also,  and the lady across the street lost her air conditioner.  I talked to an electrician and he said that was a drop in a bucket compaired to some people.  It was apparently wide spread across town.

Thanks for the sympathy!

I am back up now, the replacement modem came in and after an hour with hughes.net tech support (I'm gonna have to learn Hindu - these guys can't speak english) I am back up and running on the main computer!

LOL  don't sell yourself short!  I am thinking about going back to the basics myself!  I pay way to much in internet service fees and had to buy all the satellite equipment, and as with any satellite service if it storms anywhere in a 250 mile area between me and the satellite I don't get a connection....
