Well I did follow the road, so I suspect that the copper probably does
too.  None the less, the BS guy says I'm within the mile measure as
well.

Also, dlsreports is indicating a CO somewhere in the Woodstock/Cherokee
area.  The one I'm 'connected to' is most definitely in Cobb/Acworth.

One other note, my dsl is still down and Atlnet phone# is still
'temporarily out of service.'  I'm looking for some clues.  All leds
report the 'right stuff' on the dsl device, yet I can't ping the
gateway.   Yet, when I dial into the dialup service, I can ping the dsl
gateway.  Any clues folks?
