To further illustrate, my internet connection is a "tethered" Blackberry phone. It loses it's mind frequently (about once a day), and has to be reset by pulling the battery. It wasn't intended to be used heavily for this purpose. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
