FreeBSD and filePro weirdness

[John Esak]

Hmmm, I'll look. Most of my stuff is Sonic Wall.  However, it is so annoying
that this has simply *never* been a problem at all during the past ... ummm,
7 years... which is how long I was paying for the big $$$ T1.
Unfortunately, I live in the woods... so SpeakEasy.net won't even bring me
their great $349 T1, nor will *anyone* else because we appear to be the only
house in the United States that is not serviced by Verizon... so all local
loops go through this old, one-of-the-last-grandfathered-in phone providers
called Commonwealth Telephone. Oh yes, but they just offered me a new T1
service for $1500 month... or I can get a high speed DSL for $2,000/mo...
yeah, why don't I just and do that!  But than you again anyway, I'll look
for the urgent thing.
