So far, appealing to my target group, as we've been in the same places
and that change is not only good but possible. Remember on the Caldera
List when I was wayward at wayward.net? Well, I'm just wayward4now and can
improve. That's a marked advance in my personal philosophies, from then,
according to my perspectives.

This one, a Westtell 6000 series, can be set to any number of ports to
pass to my server, so it acts as a firewall as well. This is better than
beating on my server and routes and all of that stuff I was trying to
do. I gave up fighting it and found how to get along with it, now I am
happy. I got one helluva education by it. I thank you for your
patience!! It's tough when you think you have a grasp on a subject and
find it doesn't work the way you feel it ought. Or, it does work, but
only half-assed. Don Quixote has nothing on me.
