DSL update
ah, my first post from home since the 18th.. looks like our DSL problem has been "fixed" for now. the tech's explanation – the wires were at fault, and they were replaced. hmmm... if that's the case, then it's really strange that our DSL would only go out at night. i guess they replaced our wires with older, more mature wires that aren't afraid of the dark, or maybe put up a night light to keep the wires safe at night.
