Last Tues. the power went off for 45 minutes and when it came back on, my DSL modem had no connection. After calling the Co. they said that it was my modem. Ordered a new one. The old one was 5 or 6 years old. Got the new one this morning and I'm back!
Happy to hear your modum problem is solved, and that your "internet withdrawal" symptoms have probably gone away by now. We missed you!
I was beginning to get worried about not seeing you here CK. Thank goodness, in a way, that it was your modem that caused you to stay away. It can be repaired/replaced much easier than you can. Welcome back.
