I've been mulling over this email from you all week and trying to work up a reply that will help solve your issues.
Thank you for caring and thinking about me, but...
having one or more of us come to your house would be a quicker solution here.
That will not be necessary.
Great, just wanted to offer since sometimes in person is better than remote support. But you're a smart guy. :-)
Right. That would be nice. I have been working on it, and working on documenting it. Not done, but here:
Great that you've got the cable modem working so far. Can you get an IP from it yet?
Running ethernet or Wifi through the rest of the house is just icing on the cake.
A ran ethernet through the house decades ago:
Excellent!
So this is where having a VPS (Virtual Private Server) in the cloud running linux is a solution.
That's why I asked this list whether anyone had experience with Afterburt.
I haven't used them at all. I gave you my opinion on other vendors out there. I look forward to hearing your report on how it all goes. One thing I've been looking into is using Ansible to setup my mail server in the cloud, so that I have a repeatable setup, and so I can also 1. clone it easily to home for backups 2. move it easily to another provider if need be, without having to remember all my customizations. It's easier said than done!
Finally, I did what I have done so many times in the past when the internet connection did not work.
I power-cycled the DSL modem --- all better.
Now who'll stop the rain?
Yeah, rain used to make my home phone line goto hell, and with all the rain we've got this year, I wouldn't doubt it's even flakier now.
