Sweet Sweet Internet. My DSL was down for 30 hours+

i almost died. well, i felt like it anyways.

thanks SBC! it is working again, and i'm happy, but as my wife told me, i should have just called tech support to hear the bulletin that certain parts of town weren't getting dsl.

would have saved me totally rebuilding everything a few times, lots of router stuff, and re-installing every connection related app i had. a few times. *sigh*
