List,

Gotta fess up.

A Verizon guy was at my house a couple of days ago for an unrelated
problem. I mentioned the problem which he insisted on looking into. Sure
enough he found it: the Netgear Powerline. It connects over the electrical
power lines. I have a 50 ft length of cat6 cable, which he insisted on
trying out. It works.

I think maybe one broke or got much worse at a particular moment in time
13 days ago.

In a little while I will ask for help getting wireless to work. What I
have doesn't work automagically.
